After a long break of 8 years, Patricia Kaas is making her big media comeback. The singer will be a coach in “The Voice”. The opportunity for the discreet star to make some intimate confidences.
On February 1, Patricia Kaas will be back on the small screen. And for good reason: she will take her place on one of the four legendary red armchairs of The Voice alongside Florent Pagny, Vianney and Zaz; which will also make its first steps in the show. For the occasion, the interpreter of My boyfriend took part in the portrait of Isabelle Ithurburu in Seven to Eight.
Patricia Kaas worried about her arrival in The Voice ? “I still asked myself the question”
And the least we can say is that the singer, now 58 years old, still harbors some fears at the idea of re-entering the world of show business through the front door after a break of several years. Asked who fans of the TF1 program will be able to discover, Patricia Kaas responded bluntly: “Already, there is the apprehension of saying: ‘Are people going to recognize me?’ It’s been eight years since I was there! And then, afterwards: ‘Will the talents come to me?’ But I still asked myself the question.”
It is therefore difficult for Patricia Kaas to apprehend her return after such a long absence; her last album, with the eponymous title, dates back to 2016. But she remains solid on her feet: “In life, me with my friends, I am funny, I am authentic, I am respectful… I hope that we will feel all this. I realize it less because when I am on set, I am as I am in life And then there you go, you like it or you don’t like it… We’ll see!”
Patricia Kaas suffered a burnout: “The straw that broke the camel’s back”
Patricia Kaas could also have never joined the troupe of The Voice. As the interpreter of Mademoiselle sings the blues entrusted it to Parisian in interview, production even proposed to her several times before she accepted. But, after thousands of concert dates around the world for years, the very popular artist in Russia made a burnout four months.
“I no longer knew what woman I had become (…) Even when I was exhausted, as soon as you set foot on stage and the audience applauded you, it was an injection of adrenaline. But as soon as you came back down, it “It’s hard and getting worse over the years. You live with a suitcase all the time. It weighed on me…”she told the newspaper. Already morally and physically exhausted, Patricia Kaas also had to face the death of her dog, who accompanied her in every moment of her life. “The straw that broke the camel’s back” for her. A carefully considered return which should therefore do him the greatest good.
