The fans will be able to get their agenda out. Jacques Dutronc and his son Thomas will go on stage together for a joint tour in 2022, they both announce in the Sunday newspaper.
Jacques Dutronc is no longer on stage since the tour “The old scoundrels” he made in 2017 with two other sacred monsters of French song, Johnny Hallyday and Eddy Mitchell. The tour of Dutronc father (78 years) and son (48 years) “will begin in November 2022, after a launch in April with two dates at the Casino de Paris and Printemps de Bourges, then a visit to summer festivals”, according to JDD.
A tour to see each other “more often”
“The idea of playing together, we’ve had it for a long time. (…) I was asked to tour again, each time I answered no, because I no longer want to. To get rid of it, I said one day: “Ah but notice, with Thomas …” “, says the father. “He reinvents history a bit… We recorded his song The Little Garden for the reissue of my Frenchy album. A reporter asked us why we wouldn’t do a scene together. We answered “why not?”. The producer Gilbert Coullier, who was to listen, contacted dad in the wake, ”corrects his son.
Both ensure that this joint tour is also a way to see each other “more often”. “The goal is to share. I want to sing with him and I will accompany him on the guitar. In his repertoire, we will focus on the period 1966-1969, that of his great classics, ”said Thomas Dutronc.
News from Françoise Hardy
The latter also takes the opportunity to give news of his mother, Françoise Hardy, victim of serious health problems in recent years. “Today I can say that if Mom is not in good health her life is not in danger. She had cancer but there is no recurrence. She is in remission. She herself tends to forget it because she has sequelae from her treatments, but she is in remission, ”says Thomas Dutronc.
