On November 19, Eddy Mitchell will release his 39th studio album called: Country rock. In the run-up to this event, the 79-year-old singer gave an interview to Current wife. In front of our colleagues, he spoke of a less happy subject … the disappearance of his relatives, among whom we can naturally quote Johnny Hallyday, who died of cancer in 2017 or Charles Aznavour in 2018.
“And it sucks, unfortunately … But what do you want? It’s life, we can’t help it. I too will leave on time. When we wrote If there is only one left (a piece released in 1966 composed with Claude Moine and Jean-Pierre Boutayre, editor’s note), I absolutely did not think of all that. It was just a light song, with no ulterior motives.
If he also spoke of his meeting with Mort Shuman, who died in 1991, the interpreter of On the road to Memphis has a harder time talking about Claude François. Together, they took over together the title of Charles Trenet, The extraordinary garden in 1976. “If we take the example of Claude François, who was a friend, he had a whole tortured side, but on which I would not want to expand. I keep that to myself.”
In addition to finding it in the bins, Eddy Mitchell will resume a role left in 2018. Indeed, he is currently filming The old stoves 2: Good for asylum. He will give the reply to Alice Pol in the role of Sophie and Pierre Richard in Pierrot. The singer will once again perform the character Eddy Mitchell from Mimile. Only change compared to the first part: Antoine will this time have the features of Bernard Le Coq (and more Roland Giraud as three years ago). The first act had drawn 939,040 spectators in theaters at the time of its release.
