Dave has been in the hospital “for several days”. His agent sent a press release to AFP this Thursday, January 27 to give news of the 77-year-old singer. He is currently in an establishment “in the Paris region” to which he was admitted on January 25 “following a heavy fall in his apartment.”

“He is forced to cancel all his engagements for the next few weeks,” we can read. The artist will however be this Saturday, January 29 in “50 minutes Inside”, on TF1, for an interview recorded just before the accident. He must promote a collector’s box called “Golden Wedding”.

If he had originally hesitated between a career as a theologian or a lawyer, he launched into song and released his first 45 rpm before meeting Eddie Barclay in 1968 who would help him in his career.
