This is sad news relayed this Sunday, May 1, 2022… The iconic singer Régine died at the age of 92. Nicknamed “The Queen of the Night”, the artist was one of the figures of Parisian nights like Michou who died two years earlier. Originally from Belgium, she won over the crowds in the 1950s by performing in numerous shows.
At the time, stars and anonymous rushed to attend his wild parties often organized in the south of France. During his career, the interpreter of “I will survive” has often rubbed shoulders with the jet-set! His notoriety has even crossed borders. However, in France, the main interested party seemed to be shunned by … the essential troupe of the Enfoirés. According to the star, Jean-Jacques Goldman would have done everything to get her blacklisted!
“Goldman never wanted…”
Régine has also delivered on this subject on the airwaves of RTL in 2017. “Goldman never wanted to. He said, ‘No, she’s dealing with drugs, it doesn’t work with our thing'”, confided the founder of SOS Drugs International. Inspired by his organization, Coluche would even have asked his advice to launch in turn the Restos du Coeur in 1985. An approach that would not have moved Jean-Jacques Goldman… Quite the contrary.
Taken aback by the situation, the interpreter of “La Grande Zoa” has always been able to count on the unfailing support of certain celebrities. “They all tried. Palmade, Bruel, Voulzy… They didn’t understand”, added Régine who tried to find out more about her boycott. “He may not have sympathy for me.”
For Pure charts two years earlier, she had dressed the famous composer for the winter. “He said that I was dealing with drugs. I have a huge anti-drug association. And according to him, you shouldn’t mix”had risen Régine. “Not to mix what? There are a lot of drug addicts who go looking for food (…). I think it’s silly not to take advantage of my talent…”.
