Jacques Dutronc had not been on stage since Vieilles Canailles, Johnny Hallyday’s final tour, in 2017. But with his son Thomas, the 80-year-old singer decided to find the public on the biggest stages in France. An experience that seems to have been a real fountain of youth for those who live in Corsica, far from the hustle and bustle of Paris. “It is quite amazing! He sings and he behaves on stage better and better, with each date, it’s better. That’s crazy ! It could have been better on 3-4 dates to be the same afterwards, but no! All the dates are better: he is more and more comfortable with everyone, the musician friends. It’s really cool !“, told Thomas Dutronc to Purecharts on this subject.
Jacques Dutronc prefers to stop
Despite the infatuation the son was somewhat refreshed. Wednesday, December 21, the tour of Jacques and Thomas Dutronc ended at the Accor Arena despite an undeniable success. “It stops because my father prefers to stop now. It’s his kind of not to do too much, he prefers to be rare“, explained the son of Françoise Hardy on RTL. “I find that a little unfortunate. Either way, whatever he would have chosen, he wouldn’t have been happy, I know him.” he confided. Before adding:The concerts, he adores, but it’s everything around that is a little bit complicated. He didn’t go home to Corsica for the whole tour, he stayed on the continent, it’s not easy. He is going to be 80 years old, he is worried about not holding up. I’m sure he’ll regret not continuing because we gave him a show with little onions“.
“He sang marvelously, with a truly fabulous voice, and his stage presence is something legendary. Anyway, that’s how it is and I have plenty of things to do on my side too“, concluded Thomas Dutronc.
