Guest of Isabelle Morizet on Saturday in
There is not only one life in life
, Bernard Lavilliers explains why he does not wish to take part in the event.
According to rumors, the artist who has just released his 22nd album once said to Jean-Jacques Goldman, eye to eye: "You don't defend a good cause with bad songs."
Words that the artist fully assume, while specifying that he was not targeting the songs of Jean-Jacques Goldman, but the spectacle of the Enfoirés as a whole.
"Les Enfoirés, it was not intended to last that long"
"I thought, and I'm not the only one to think so, since some who have done it sometimes find it a bit trivial sometimes," he explains. "It's a kind of fiesta, and why not finally. But it's always the same, we do charity because we are unable to impose justice." And the artist to continue his momentum: "I knew Coluche very well, and the Enfoirés, it was not intended to last that long. Normally, it should give a hand at some point," recalls -he. But "finally, the State is very well used to these Restaurants of the heart. As usual, the bandages on cancers ...", he laughs.

Avoid too many albums
As for his career, Bernard Lavilliers explains having an obsession: "not to release the album too much".
So to avoid getting to release this record dreaded by most artists who have experience, Bernard Lavilliers decided to create songs so "[that he will be] physically able to sing on stage with [his] beautiful voice".
"The moment I can't do it anymore, I'll be ridiculous and stop writing songs."
