Between The Voice, of which he was the coach of the All Stars edition, and his future 60-year-old tour which begins next November, Florent Pagny will have spent a lot of time in France. And the singer intends to anchor his life even more in France, he who had been controversial by announcing his installation in Portugal for tax reasons.
Asked by Gala, Florent Pagny spoke of his future and made an unexpected announcement: “Today, I only know that in nine months, I will have finished my tour, I will have no more commitments. I will be free. On the other hand, I am aware that Azucena [sa femme, NDLR] is more far-sighted than me. She is my best advisor. And we are going to become French residents again, quite simply.“The interpreter of the hits Know how to love, My freedom of thought or Bearing walls will therefore leave Portugal, the country where we learned that he had settled in 2017, – even if he still paid part of his taxes in France – but will also move away from Patagonia, where he has a house for many years.
His wife adds, on their future life: “We will travel less. To get to our home in Patagonia from Paris, it takes thirteen hours of flight, another plane for two extra hours, then two or three hours by car! We are going to simplify all that, take advantage much more, lighten us of what is unnecessary.“Already at the height of the pandemic, Florent Pagny and Azucena had been able to taste a less nomadic life by spending a six-month confinement in France with their children, Inca (21 years old) and Aël (18 years old)”in the family house where they grew up“, specifies the singer.
