At 59 years old, Zazie fully embraces the marks of time and proudly displays her white locks. A hair look that she adopted in 2022 for the release of her album Aile-P, which sometimes earned her a few comments to which she is now well equipped to respond.
She is an emblematic singer of French song. At 59, Zazie continues to delight her fans by multiplying her artistic projects. In 2022, the interpreter of 4-star marquee released a new album called P-Wing which also marks thirty years of career for this singer-songwriter. The one who also serves as a juror on behalf of the show The Voice has thus traveled a beautiful journey. On the road to success, Zazie learned a lot.
Today, she feels much better equipped to deal with criticism which is not always constructive. If the singer has fully embraced her white hair for more than a year now, she nevertheless regrets receiving incessant questions on this subject. “When I started talking about the last album, I had questions about my white streak in the first ten days“confided Zazie in the columns of our colleagues at Figaro.

Zazie: “It’s also one of the freedoms of getting older”
Moreover, Zazie explains that she has an unstoppable technique in this type of situation. “In these cases, I pretend to be very old and very hard of hearing, like when I’m asked to ‘make content’”, she jokes to the newspaper. The singer, who is gradually freeing herself from the diktat that pushes many women to try to hide the appearance of white hair, does not take the subject lightly.
In 2022, while she was invited on the set of Daily, Zazie spoke about this topic at the microphone of Yann Barthès. The Covid-19 pandemic and successive confinements seem to have weighed in the balance. “It’s true that Covid helped me to no longer have dye, and to say to myself ‘I’m going to let these things grow and we’ll see what happens’. And then time passes…”, she confided. And to add: “It’s also one of the freedoms of getting older, it’s to start worrying less about the image we project and the comments.”
