A show expected for years. Since Saturday June 22, 2019 and his last concert at Paris La Défense Arena to be precise. Indeed, since that date, fans of Mylène Farmer have not been able to approach their idol. But that will soon end from Saturday June 3 and the star’s first show organized at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium in Lille as part of his tour. “Nevermore”. A show awaited for years, which even forces fans to sit in front of the gates of the enclosure… for almost a month.
As this meeting approached, Pascal Praud sought to find out how the 61-year-old artist felt and directly telephoned her best friend, Nathalie Rheims, this Friday, June 2 on RTL. “Without revealing anything of course, and in particular the concert tomorrow evening, have you had her in the last few hours? Is she worried? Is she okay? confident? How did she prepare for this event?the reporter first asked.
Two personalities for Mylène Farmer? “No” according to her best friend
Nathalie Rheims assures her, Mylène Farmer is “very happy”. With regard to trust, this explains that we “is never confident when such a challenge awaits you but in any case she is ready”. And especially “very happy to find this public that she loves so much […] for so long”. “And which is the same and constantly renewing itself”, she continues. To prepare as well as possible, the interpreter of “Without Counterfeit” left to prepare for a fortnight with her teams so that the “show take shape”.
Subsequently, Pascal Praud wanted to discuss the “two personalities” by Mylène Farmer: the artist, and the woman of everyday life. Two “different” people according to him. “What is interesting with Mylène Farmer, because often we talk about her together. What is quite surprising, and this is what you are telling me, is that there are two Mylène Farmers. there is the one who is on stage and then there is the friend you know. And who is extremely far perhaps from the one who is on stage”he said before being cut by Nathalie Rheims: “No, no, sorry to cut you off but it’s exactly the same. It’s just that you have to understand the path that is yours”.
Pascal Praud cropped but finally joined
Indeed, the best friend of the 61-year-old artist explains that it is “someone extremely simple, human, generous, extraordinary in every sense of the word”. “I always see her turned towards others. There is necessarily a small change that must take place. And that at some point takes place naturally, there are no secrets, there are no of mysteries, there is no fabrication, that is to say, it is in her”she defended before concluding: “It’s the same and at the same time it’s another since it becomes almost inaccessible, not in the literal sense of the term but even us, the closest ones, we hardly believe it”.
“That’s what I was pointing out”, said Pascal Praud. The journalist arguing his remarks by pointing out “this difference between a person in life who is rather reserved, rather shy, rather attentive to others”and who on stage “becomes the artist we know and who knows how to set an entire stadium on fire”.
