At 69 years old, Phil Barney still has good artistic days ahead of him. Soon, he will go back on tour with his Stars 80 cohorts and unveil a new album. But where does he live when he is not on stages in France?
Since 2014, Phil Barney has been part of the successful adventure, the tour Stars 80. Next March, the performer of the intergenerational hit Un enfant de toi will therefore set off again on all the roads of France with his accomplices. At the same time, he is working hard on a new album.
Phil Barney based in the Paris region: his property “on the edge of the forest”
There is therefore no question for the singer of the 1980s to retire. However, when he is not on tour, it is in his house in Val-de-Marne, located “on the edge of the forest”that the artist likes to recharge his batteries. To celebrate your birthday, go to the site Purepeople that he agreed to open the doors of his privacy. And to look back on his life far from the capital.
Owner of a house in the countryside, far from the tumult of rehearsals and television sets that he is accustomed to, Phil Barney has been able to build his haven of peace which he shares with his wife, Doriane, whom he married in 2001, and their son Keenan, 24, a computer engineer who has not left the nest.
And, the icing on the cake, the artist was also able to build his own music studio at home and therefore works from home. So he lives “in a house at the edge of the forest” where he has “a studio in the basement”. “The room is around 40 m². I try to store my guitars there, but it’s not easy!”he also said.
This item that Phil Barney collects: “I have 22”
It must be said that Phil Barney has a limitless passion for guitars, which he has collected for many years: “I have 22, including a 1989 Gibson Les Paul, my best”. “I’m not materialistic: I don’t do this job to be rich. But guitars are my guilty pleasure”he confided to our colleagues.
A collection that he has the luxury of being able to expand as he wishes, thanks to Stars 80but also thanks to the success, still current, of his song A child of you. And for good reason, it continues to bring him big! “It must bring in between 5,000 and 6,000 euros per quarter”the artist even revealed during the interview.
