Francis Cabrel released his 14th studio album titled At dawn returning on October 16, 2020. To promote the opus, the 67-year-old singer agreed to have journalist Audrey Crespo-Mara portray her on the show Seven to eight of January 3, 2021. The interpreter of I loved you, i love you, I'll love you took the opportunity to talk about the reasons for its discretion.
When Thierry Ardisson's wife points out to him that it seems like we know him so little, the artist responds frankly: "Well so much the better! And that suits me, actually! That’s what I wanted in the end, that people don’t know me that much. I'm quite happy, indeed, to have led my life like this, between appearances where I approach what we call show business and the long periods where I move away from it, to live like a father, a villager, quiet".
A state of mind that is particularly relevant today, at a time when family takes center stage while the Covid-19 epidemic is forcing everyone to rethink their lives.
Francis Cabrel is also facing this period of health crisis. Confined like all French people, the singer had already delivered his feelings about the second wave of the coronavirus to the Journal of Montreal October 30, 2020.
He readily admitted concerning the confinement: "It's gray, it's gloomy and, since we have a curfew in Paris, it's not joy, But this second lockdown is less drastic than the first, so I get used to it".
A desire to return to the stage
But make no mistake, the French star was eager to find his audience on stage. "I can't wait to start making music on stage again! As my album just came out and I can't do a show I stay at home, read, sing, and play some rounds of golf every now and then"he declared to our colleagues from Journal of Montreal. A routine which shows that the 60-year-old is rather a simple man as he likes to say.
