Hard blow for the Dutronc clan! It is the dad, Jacques Dutronc, who is put on forced rest for having contracted the Covid-19 virus. The singer is forced to cancel several dates of his planned tour alongside his son Thomas. It was the latter who gave news of his father. All is not lost, the reunion between the two men on stage is still envisaged.
While father and son had started rehearsals for their concerts and announced several dates throughout France, the project took a turn for the worse when Jacques fell ill. Disturbing news that fans of the father and son duo are following closely to find out if the festivities around their reunion will take place.
Invited to speak on South Radio, the Dutronc son gave reassuring news. “It’s a bad surprise, my father caught Covid a week ago, it’s better. he explained. He got out of trouble but hey, he got it a little strong all the same. It must be said that my father is a smoker.“The two men are definitely affected by a real curse, since last April it was Thomas who had Covid-19.
An announcement that reassured fans who also learned that next Saturday’s concert is canceled. The health of the interpreter of Cactus obviously being the top priority. “There it is better, there is no problem. He’s too tired to come and play on Saturday” he explained optimistically.
Thomas also said that he will perform, alone, the concert scheduled for the Bacchus Festival in Argelès-sur-mer. “We said to ourselves that we were going to cancel the date but the director of the Festival asked us if we still wanted to play. We thought because without him, it’s not the same. But we decided to play anyway.“A gesture that shows the singer’s dedication to his audience!
