This Friday, February 3, 2023, Bruno Pelletier was Faustine Bollaert’s guest on the set of her show It starts today. An opportunity for the star of the musical Notre Dame de Paris, to talk about his addictions. “I started making music in my twenties… I made a living doing that, not dearly. At the time it was very hardrock. Above all, I had the life of a young person who explores and tries a bit of everything. It took me to some music bypass vocals that weren’t always great…”he explained not without a certain emotion.
According to him, notoriety would have pushed him to succumb to several vices… In particular drugs and alcohol. “I fell into excess, alcohol, drugs and all that, I came out of there quite quickly because I had a very bad experience, an overdose, I ended up in the hospital”, said the singer, now 60 years old. Fortunately, Bruno Pelletier managed to pull through. How ? Through martial arts. “I realized that if I wanted to do this as a job, we were no longer at the time of Jim Morrison. There is still an aura around these artists, they died very young, it brought a myth and we weren’t in it anymore. If I wanted to do this job, I had to get out of this unhealthy cog. Martial arts helped me. I started to work really seriously and the things happened in my early thirties.”
A dazzling success
If Bruno Pelletier had a dazzling success thanks to the musical Notre Dame de Paristhe artist had also been part of the troupe of starmania at the Mogador theater, in the 9ᵉ arrondissement of Paris. Years after these two projects, he has fond memories. “It became what it became. I never would have thought that ‘The time of the cathedrals would play on the radio’ […] From the Palais des Congrès we felt that we were holding something quite huge”, he added on France 2.
