Exiled for several decades in the United States, Michel Polnareff has returned to France. As he prepares to travel the roads of France to find his audience and make them dance to the rhythm of his classics, the 78-year-old singer was in Versailles to face Nikos Aliagas. Saturday May 20, 2023 their interview was broadcast as part of the portrait of the week of 50min Inside. Together, the two men returned to some highlights of the artist’s career.
In addition to a panoply of hits, Michel Polnareff is a musician with an inimitable style capable of many crazy moves. In more than 50 years of career, the interpreter of Letter to France has collected a package. The first dates back to 1972! On his tour poster, “Polnarevolution”he displayed his buttocks in the air decked out in his iconic glasses. “I was 4/5 years old, I saw it (this poster, editor’s note) and I remember it”slipped the facilitator marked by this image. “I think that since we understood that it was a nice thing, a joke, a wink…”he explained. “Doesn’t that shock anyone anymore?”asked his interlocutor. “So much the better”he replied. “It earned me a (passage in) correctional”.
Fine and recidivism
Summoned to court, the star must respond to a charge of indecent assault. “Verdict, 60,000 francs fine, or just over 9,000 euros for the artist”. “I admit that it goes a little beyond what we had planned at the start, because I found that, in the end, showing your ass was a joke. It takes on bigger proportions. See that a small ass can bring big things”had declared the main interested party with humor after the incident. “I think the judgment was ridiculous, way too expensive for a prank and not enough if it had been really offensive”.
And obviously, this passage in front of the justice did not calm him down since he reoffended the following year by appearing from the front, always naked, a hat as a cache-sex.
