One less legend on stage: for Eddy Mitchell, “that’s enough”

However, in 2014, he returned to the Palais des sports in Paris. And in 2017, he toured the Vieilles Canailles. But this time, it’s well and truly over, he said in an interview with the site Pure Charts. “I started singing, I was 14, I’ll soon be 81, that’s enough.” He no longer wants to be on the road, to take planes, trains, cars, he says. “And to find myself at the hotel at one or two in the morning eating a gourmet salad.”

Do you think that’s a speech we’ve heard before? It’s true, Michel Sardou had also drawn a line under the scene before reconsidering his decision, although he swore doggedly that he would not change his mind.

Reading Eddy Mitchell’s interview, the “no” is less categorical. The stage is no… “for the moment”he says.

On the other hand, Eddy Mitchell does not intend to stop making records. It is obvious in his eyes, “It’s part of my life”. That’s good news for his many fans.
