Zazie, who has always been at the Enfoirés show since his arrival in the troupe, called a very popular singer to join them. He had already refused to participate in the show in the past…
Last January, the Enfoirés took over the stage of the Accor Arena in Paris for several exceptional performances of the troupe’s latest show, The Ballad of the Bastards. For this 37th edition, 55 artists responded to the call. While the show is broadcast on February 27 on TF1, Zazie, faithful to Restos du coeur, called on one of the most popular artists of his generation to join the movement for next year…
“One of the reasons why Jean-Jacques Goldman stopped…”
The happy gang was therefore able to count on expected returns like those of Bénabar and Florent Pagny, but also on the arrival of four new recruits: Marine, Helena (both from the Star Academy), Esther Abrami or Styleto. Like every year, the regulars welcomed the newcomers with open arms. “It is essential to welcome them into the troop”Zazie even told the magazine TV 7 days. The interpreter of Peace Street has not missed a single Enfoirés event since 1997!
“One of the reasons why Jean-Jacques Goldman stopped Les Enfoirés, and I don’t think I’m betraying him by saying that, is also because he understood the importance of transmission”added the 61-year-old singer. “And what is also important is to open a concert with a title by Gims, for example. This event must remain popular”she continued.
Zazie appeals to a star who has already refused Les Enfoirés: “Not comfortable in that world”
The singer then took the opportunity to immediately launch an appeal to her colleague, a popular figure on the airwaves and charts for several years now thanks to hits like Bella And As worn as ever. “Besides, Gims is welcome in the troop”chanted the one who, in the city, is Isabelle de Truchis de Varennes. To the wise!
This is not the first time that Gims has received such calls. And if the idea of defending the Restos du Coeur, and the fight at Coluche, often crosses his mind, he does not see himself joining the Enfoirés troop. “I wouldn’t be comfortable in that world with these artists that I respect a lot, but I would feel like a hypocrite. I would pretend to be there dressing up. I wouldn’t be able to do that.”he said in 2023.
