It was around 9:00 p.m., at the end of the rehearsal, that the singer complained, on returning to his dressing room, of a pain in the chest and "bent in two", told AFP the Managing Director of the 100% regional radio station, Jacques Iribarren.
The station had invited Monday evening more than 800 of its listeners for a showcase in Bruguières, about twenty kilometers north of Toulouse.
"He had to perform six pieces but he told us when he saw the venue, + I'm going to do a real concert +", Jacques Iribarren added.
After the discomfort, the organization called in a doctor who was in the public.
The latter advised Pascal Obispo, who wanted to go on stage when the public had just entered the room, to submit to exams.
An ambulance from Samu took him to a private hospital in Toulouse.
According to the director of 100%, the singer was fine Tuesday morning and the discomfort would be linked to "overwork", the artist connects the dates for the promotion of his album "France" released at the end of October.
Some dates, including a concert in Bordeaux on Tuesday evening, were to be canceled, he said.
