In an interview with “Gala”, and published this Thursday, November 10, Véronique Sanson’s sister, Violaine Sanson-Tricard, remembered her anguish linked to the marriage of the singer with her ex-husband, Stephen Stills.
On October 27, the book was released in bookstores All Véronique Sanson – Album by album, written by biographer Baptiste Vignol. The latter wished to return to the complete discography of the icon of French song, who has just started a big tourtitled Hasta Luego. The preface to this dense and complete tribute book is also signed by a person very close to Veronique Sanson : his sister, Violaine Sanson-Tricardwho gave a long interview to Gala, published this Thursday, November 10. An interview during which the big sister of Véronique Sanson largely returned to their relationship, their complicitybut also on the marriage of his youngest with the American singer Stephen Stills.
It was for him that in February 1973, Véronique Sanson abruptly left the singer Michael Bergerwho she was with in a relationship with for three years. After experiencing a real thunderbolt, the interpreter of “My reverence” flew to the United States. The couple married on March 14, 1973 in England. An event of which Violaine Sanson-Tricard keeps a very bad memoryas she confided in the columns of Gala.

“I told him: ‘Come on, let’s get out!'”
“Of course, there was her wedding day. She’s already told about it. When I saw that she had cut her veins, I said to her: ‘Come on, let’s go!‘”, she remembered. Despite this pressing request, Véronique Sanson apparently did not want to hear anything. “She didn’t want to because there were the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, that the parents were there“, said Violaine Sanson-Tricard. The latter also addressed the domestic violence her little sister experienced when she was married to Stephen Stills, whom she divorced in 1980. “When she talked about what was going on in her relationship, it sounded like a crisis, a shouting match, no more. I never suspected violence…”, lamented Violaine Sanson-Tricard, who admits to having seen nothing at the time because of the thousands of kilometers which separated them, the singer having lived in Colorado, then in California.
If the two sisters have moved away “by force of circumstances” from 1973 to 1980, they are today more accomplices than ever since the return of Christopher Stills’ mother to France. “We always have unite against everyone, Vero and me“assured the eldest of the artist, before specifying: “Family has always been a priority for us.”
