Hélène Ségara paid tribute to Joe Dassin a few years ago, but Jonathan Dassin does not validate certain comments she made. And he made it known on the show “Chez Jordan”…
Jonathan Dassin, the son of the late singer Joe Dassin, wanted to clarify things. According to him, the words of Hélène Ségara, who had released an album of covers of songs by the singer Indian summer in 2013, are not accurate.

Jonathan Dassin corrects Hélène Ségara’s comments: “Excuse me, but…”
A few years ago, Hélène Ségara wanted to pay tribute to Joe Dassin by releasing an album of covers – entitled And if you didn’t existcertified platinum with 100,000 sales – in which she performed virtual duets with the artist who died in 1980. In an interview, she explained: “I would never have taken Joe Dassin back if his sons hadn’t come for me“.
But according to Jonathan Dassin, who shares his father’s passion for music and is releasing his second album in 2025, this sentence is not entirely accurate! “There, excuse me Hélène, but she did not come to pick me up and she did not communicate with me directly, but rather with my brother (Julien Dassin, 44 years old, editor’s note). I did not participate in this project and I did not go looking for Hélène“, he said recently, on the set of Jordan De Luxe.
Does Hélène Ségara have contact with Joe Dassin’s son?

I was not made to participate in the project (…) It was just a question of semantics that I noticed“, he declared in front of Jordan De Luxe.
However, Jonathan Dassin insisted: he approves of Hélène Ségara’s project. “I always agree on quality things that show off my dad. So I saw these virtual duets with kindness“, he assured. But if Joe Dassin’s son, aged 46, has absolutely no grudge against the singer, he has little contact with her, although they have crossed paths several times on television sets.
