In full promotion of his new album, In the movie of my lifeLouis Bertignac granted, this Monday, June 12, 2023, an interview to our colleagues from the Parisian. An opportunity for the 69-year-old artist to confide in one of his greatest fears: aging. “I like the number 69, minus 70″, he said in particular, not without a touch of humor. And to continue: “Getting older worries me a bit because I love this life. The days go by faster and faster.
The artist born in Oran is therefore obviously not yet ready to say goodbye. For good reason… his life seems perfect in every way. Happier than ever in the arms of Laetitia Brichet, the musician is also a happy dad. It was, in fact, in November 2016 that his companion gave birth to Jack, a little boy that the former coach of The Voice is afraid to leave behind. “He may lose his dad before he turns 20, but I didn’t want to spoil this wonderful story. And I don’t regret anything. It’s the beginning of a real life, a capital life. Even if tomorrow is the big unknown, I see myself dying in his arms”, he confided in the columns of Paris Match in April 2022.

Exit his role as a sixty-year-old father and his phobia of the passage of time, Louis Bertignac also spoke of his youth and, at the same time, his drug use “from 22 to 30 years old”. “Far too cowardly to go any further”he would have taken substances “in homeopathic doses”.
“When the homies took a quarter gram of heroin, it lasted a fortnight for me. But I was addicted to my quarter line of coke every night. I took it just to be normal. But this period lasted far too long a long time, and it rotted my intestines, my stomach a little…”he revealed. “Luckily there was music! On tour, I never touched it. I once wrote down a ‘no high’ daily calendar and stuck to it.” And to conclude: “There is only the cigarette that I have not stopped”.
