Not everything has always been easy between Jacques Dutronc and his son Thomas. So much so that this idea of a father and son tour, Dutronc & Dutronc may at first have surprised some. Close to his mother Françoise Hardy, Thomas Dutronc spoke of more ambivalent relationships with his father. On the set of Passage of the arts on France 2, last February, he claimed to have always “very proudof the latter in his youth but confirmed some differences.”We never spokehe said. We didn’t talk about feelings. We did little together, but we lived side by side, we communicated a lot through unsaid words and silences..”
Like many other father-son relationships, that of the Dutroncs was therefore not the most obvious. Today, the soon-to-be 79-year-old singer and the fruit of his love affair with Françoise Hardy have decided to go on stage together, after having already appeared together at the Victoires de la Musique. Of this peaceful relationship, Thomas Dutronc confided in June 2020 in We are not in bed : “If there’s been a time in my life when we’ve had trouble between us, now It’s going very well […] It’s funny becausewe had pretty much the same tastesbut I realized it without knowing it.”
