"I am old enough to be retired from the Enfoirés", Francis Cabrel leaves his place to young people

The singer is making his return to the stage for the first time since the Covid-19 epidemic. A tour that could be the last even if he does not see himself completely stopping the music.


In the middle of his tour postponed for a year because of the Covid-19, Francis Cabrel took the time to confide in our colleagues from the

Parisian

.

With his “Trobador Tour”, he crisscrosses France to promote his latest album

At the Returning Dawn,

released a year ago.

To celebrate this return to near normality, Lot-et-Garonnais is also planning the release on December 3 of a double live album, including two CDs and four vinyls.

Despite this busy news, Francis Cabrel explains that he sees no further than these few medium-term deadlines

.

For the moment, there are few things planned for 2022. We will do the tour in Canada that had been canceled in Canada in June, then the few summer festivals postponed due to the Covid or bad weather.

My producer has some ideas in his head, but I'm quite tempted to do nothing in between.

A tour is tiring.

And we have to move on,

”he explains.

The bastards, it's over

The singer also evokes his friend Jean-Jacques Goldman, who celebrated his 70th birthday a few days ago. The latter is conspicuous by his absence for almost twenty years and his announcement of early retirement. For the author of

La Corrida,

Jean-Jacques quit too early. Like him, I wonder not to make the album and the tour too much. (...) For me, it's soon.

"

The two men have long been pillars of the Enfoirés troupe, but have not participated in the concert since 2016. A situation this time definitive.

I was asked again recently but I said,

'

No, excuse me.

I am old enough to retire from the

Enfoirés

.

Coming back now, I would feel less in tune.

I remember discussions with Jean-Jacques and Maxime Le Forestier, where we said to ourselves that the ideal would be to make room for young people.

It's done, and it's perfect,

”says the singer.

A book in preparation?

With fourteen albums to his credit and twenty-five million records sold worldwide, Francis Cabrel is an icon of French song. Forty-five years after the start of his career, he doesn't see himself coming to a complete stop, “

at least not right away.

I want to write in other forms. It tempts me to make a book, I have a few leads. I saw that Laurent (Voulzy) had written one on cathedrals. It's interesting, ”

he continues in the columns of Le

Parisien

.

However, retirement obsesses the 67-year-old singer.

He says he thinks about it "

all the time!"

I have been thinking about it since my first album in 1977. The day after its release, I said: "I quit".

Before retiring, the singer has something to take care of, with the thirty or so dates that remain to be honored with the release of his live album or in his active search for a doctor for his village of Astaffort.
