At 75, singer Bernard Lavilliers is still on the road! The artist, who has started a new tour, settled down at the Olympia from June 16 to 19, 2022; the group Terrenoire ensured in the first part. During his first date in the Parisian room, he shared his pleasure with his loyal audience but also with his half, his wife Sophie.
Indeed, behind the scenes of the concert we were able to discover that Bernard Lavilliers received a platinum disc (for 100,000 copies). His latest album, titled Under a huge sun, was released in 2021. It was then his 23rd studio album! And he shared his reward with his wife Sophie Chevallier-Lavilliers because she participated in the graphic creation of this musical project. It has been since 2003 that he has shared his life with this discreet woman, who avoids the worldliness of show business. They met at the time in Martinique. Of his previous relationships, the interpreter of the tube On The Road Again became the father of four children.
Interviewed jointly in 2019, by the magazine Paris Match, the couple had mentioned their professional collaboration which has lasted for a few years now. And Sophie had not taken gloves to describe her lover… “Bernard knows what he wants. He can be fierce when he says no. We discuss a lot about what I propose to him because, for a long time, the work on these things was not done. she said then. And the wife of Bernard Lavilliers to specify that when she does not work on the visual aspects of the musical projects of her lover, she accompanies him all the same on tour and multiplies the caps. “During concerts, I work. I’m not treated better than a musician, that’s the least I can do“, added Sophie.
This award was therefore savored by the duo, who were also surrounded by guests such as Thierry Frémaux or Gilbert Coullier. The singer will return to the Olympia from October 27 to 30, 2022. In the meantime, it is elsewhere in France that we can find him on stage.
