The famous singer came out of his reserve. As a teacher revealed, he received a letter from the singer a few days ago for a specific reason. A work which was inspired by the artist and which he wrote.
Favorite personality of the French, singer and composer who has sold more than 30 million records… despite all these signs of love from the public, Jean-Jacques Goldman is one of the most secret artists today. He lives far from France (in London) part of the time and expresses himself very little. So when he does it, it acts as an event.
A letter dated September 18 was revealed. It was sent from Marseille (other place of life of the singer) to Thibault Christophe, teacher from Toulouse. He wrote a first novel entitled Journal d’un fan (editions du Caillou) in which he recounts the determination of an admirer of Jean-Jacques Goldman to meet his idol. A text which visibly touched the singer who wanted to thank him. “It was such a surprise that I instantly put it back in the envelope. (…) I had to reopen it slowly to appreciate this beautiful moment“, recounted this father who had opened the missive without suspecting anything, while he was in his elevator. Comments reported by our colleagues at The Dispatch.
If the work evokes the determination of an admirer of Jean-Jacques Goldman to meet his idol, Thibault Christophe was also very determined to send it to the singer. He even tried to go through another very discreet artist, Francis Cabrel. He had met him at the Rencontres d’Astaffort organized each year by the artist. “I asked Cabrel if he could pass it on to Goldman, thinking they were in contact. At the time, he didn’t promise me anything“, he said. The man also went through the Jean-Jacques Goldman fan club. And finally, it paid off!
The last times Jean-Jacques Goldman was talked about
Last July, the public was able to hear about Jean-Jacques Goldman thanks to Catherine, ceramist and owner of a home in Scaër (Brittany). She was surprised to find herself face to face with Jean-Jacques Goldman, her favorite singer. Better, she has it hosted with his wife Nathaliewho had reserved the accommodation for greater discretion. Of course, Catherine described the singer as a humble and kind person as if one could imagine hearing less complimentary terms about JJ Goldman.
This summer, far from view, Goldman also wrote a letter to Dorianformer emblematic participant of the show Don’t forget the lyrics!. His daughter asked the artist if he could write a note for her father’s birthday. “Entering quarantine Dorian! No vaccine against the passing years. Happy birthday, I have a feeling there will be music. Kind regards, JJG and the adorable Tamy“, replied the artist. A discreet man but always available.
