While he is regularly accused of misogyny, Michel Sardou has nevertheless been able to show himself complicit with several women who have passed through his life. Especially with this late singer who had the gift of wanting to dress him up…
For a few months, Michel Sardou and his wife Anne-Marie Périer left Paris and Normandy, where they had two homes, to settle in an XXL-sized house in the South of France. The opportunity for the 77-year-old singer, who triumphed with his tour I remember a goodbye, to end his old days in peace. The interpreter of Connemara Lakes has long been in the spotlight and has crossed paths with several important women. He keeps precious memories of one of them…
Michel Sardou poorly dressed? This singer put her two cents
Among the women in Michel Sardou’s life, there was the legendary French singer Barbara. “I had the opportunity to meet an exceptional woman. At the time I was just starting out in recital, at the Palais des Congrès I was very young and obviously I was scared. So she came to see me in my dressing room to cheer me up morale, give me courage”Michel Sardou told his fans in 2018, at La Seine Musicale, before performing the late artist’s hit, The black Eagle.
Michel Sardou, who recounts his intimate memories of the woman who died in 1997 at the age of 67, in a very recent publication on Instagram, adds that she very often made fun of him about his appearance. “There was only one thing she didn’t like: that at the time I was dressed all in black. As you know who it is, it was still at the ‘the time of the hospital that didn’t care about charity!’ And it’s up to him to add a most memorable anecdote: “So she came with a thread and a needle and she sewed little blue sequins onto my belt, in her eyes it made me fresher…”.
“She locked herself in the closet“
The two emblematic singers of the French scene have long been great friends and have even been credited with having a romantic relationship! The interpreter of The black Eagle would have even spent very long hours hidden in the cupboards of Michel Sardou’s various dressing rooms to listen to the compliments of his fans. “When the guests after the show come to greet you, she locks herself in the closet, she doesn’t want to see them, had actually told the main person concerned to Pascal Praud in Pro Hour on CNews in 2021. “And one day I forgot her. I can’t tell you the trouble I had getting the Palais des Congrès reopened by telling the guard: ‘I forgot Barbara in the cupboard'”he quipped.
According to Michel Sardou, this beautiful idyll ended one morning, in Reims, while Barbara had followed him on tour. “Going to buy a sweater”Barbara would never have returned, leaving the interpreter of Singing alone. “When I woke up, I found the sweater, but unfortunately, never again Barbara… She played her comedy with Gérard Depardieu, I went on tour again, she too, and one morning I learned that she would never come back”he confided in the same show.
