Very admiring of his dad who received a trophy of honor on February 11, 2022 during the Music Victories, Thomas Dutronc wanted to make a beautiful declaration of love. Moved, the son of Jacques Dutronc began by telling their best anecdotes in front of an already won over audience. “Well done Dad! (…) He is strong, it is my dad, it is him. I wanted to tell you a couple of things. When I was little with dad, we listened to Johnny Cash in the car and we tried not to die of suffocation because he smoked his big Havana…“A real source of inspiration for Thomas, he recounts this sentence whispered by his father when writing his speech which has since remained etched in his memory:”Music is like oxygen it is necessary. But it is polluted sometimes. I liked it...”
Everyone was shocked
Proud of his father who, according to him, is unique and irreplaceable, Thomas reveals how much he considers him to be someone exceptional: “I can say ‘my father this number’ because people like him there will never be others, never two, the mold is broken.“Amused, he also tells a hilarious anecdote, the meeting between his dad and the former President of the Republic, Georges Pompidou.”Even the President at the time, who wasn’t a Camembert, was Pompidou, he had talked about your Cactus in the Assembly. I even believe that you sang, I believe that we can tell it, in front of him in his underpants ! (…) It seems that everyone was shocked at the Élysée. But that it made Pompidou laugh a lot, who had a sense of humor.”
To conclude, he recalls, of course, how much he tenderly loves his precious dad. “How proud of you I am! Proud to be your son and so, so happy to be touring with you soon. (…) We’re going to have fun because your music rocks and because people love you very very much. And mommy and me, on the subject, we love you even more“, he declares with a lot of emotion. Jacques Dutronc then joined his son on stage where they sang in duet the tube And me and me and me.
As a reminder, Jacques and Thomas Dutronc will begin Dutronc & Dutronc from December 2022 throughout France.
