His outspokenness never left him. In addition to his titles, each as cult as the next, his releases are also part of the legend that has become Michel Sardou over the years. At 76, the interpreter of Love sickness made his return to the stage this Wednesday October 4, 2023 for his tour I remember a goodbyeafter five years of absence.
The day after this return, the artist spoke in the columns of Paris Match
to notably evoke the comments of Juliette Armanet with regard to her title “The Lakes of Connemara”. He has already assured that the singer’s criticisms of him did not affect him more than that, he confirmed it once again in the columns of our colleagues. “It’s a ridiculous controversy, frankly! I’ve never met Juliette Armanet. I don’t know what she sings. I don’t care and the page is turned”he said frankly.

Michel Sardou nevertheless adds: “What she doesn’t understand is that you don’t write songs to please everyone. It’s normal for people not to like my songs. The problem is the way she said it, at the very least it was clumsiness. But it didn’t make me feel cold or hot.”. A frankness which has never left him. He doesn’t show any language either when it comes to giving his opinion on the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron.
The singer has never hidden it, he is not “not a macronist”. In addition, he explains that he is no longer too interested in politics because what he sees “born [le] not passionate.” “The political staff has declined significantly. It is of very poor quality.”, he laments. But even if he doesn’t share the same ideas as Emmanuel Macron, that doesn’t mean he would refuse to have a one-on-one dinner with Brigitte Macron’s companion. “Oh of course”, he blurted out when our colleagues asked him if he would be up for a one-on-one lunch with the Head of State. Nevertheless, Michel Sardou describes the President as “weird” And “elusive”. It remains to be seen whether this is a compliment.
