Jean-Pierre François is blowing out one more candle on June 7. The opportunity to look into the current life of the one who was a hit in the charts with the pipe I will outlive youwhich sold 2 million copies!
Since 1989 and the release of his cult title, it is clear that Jean-Pierre François has been somewhat forgotten. But it must be said that the singer, who had a career as a footballer before that, notably at AS Saint-Étienne, maintains this discretion. “He’s so withdrawn, he doesn’t want to talk. He turned the page. This part of his life, a beautiful period, is no longer relevant. Even if he denies nothing (…) He worked in the night world for a long time [il a tenu la boite La Scatola jusqu’au début des années 2000 à Saint-Cyprien, relatait L’Est Républicain, ndlr]. That’s good, he has a more orderly, quieter life“, had thus entrusted his lover Sandrine Margueritte to The Teamin 2019.
The couple is based not far from Ramatuelle (in the Var) and Madame manages a snack restaurant called In girls. But if she has a partner, Mado, unthinkable to see Jean-Pierre François in the kitchen or in the dining room, who continues to remain in the shadows. Previously, the former singer had nevertheless collaborated professionally with his companion within their other establishment, a PMU says At Tony’s.
In 2016, they were forced to step down. “I took over the management twelve years ago“, explained Sandrine Margueritte to Var-Morning. The reason for this departure? The owner of the walls wanted to change direction and do great work. “The bar closed four months, and a new lease was offered to me ten days before reopening, on terms that were not acceptable to me (…) Jean-Pierre and I therefore bow out. It’s a shame, because our bar was a place of entertainment and reunions all year round.“, added Sandrine.
Football is also never far away since Jean-Pierre François – whose last public appearance dates back to 2004 on the set of star Academy with his daughter Sandy – agreed to become honorary president of the Ramatuelle club.
