Since his departure from the Enfoirés in 2016, Jean-Jacques Goldman has only shown himself with very rare exceptions in the media. In 2019, the singer made a short video for the new season of Day-to-day, of which he was the godfather. A year later, when the Covid-19 forced the planet to confine itself, the interpreter of “I give you” had published a cover in tribute to the nursing staff of his song “He changed life”, which became for the occasion “They save lives”. In the meantime, no press interview or statement about a potential album, which has been overdue for over 20 years now.
Jean-Jacques Goldman has finally agreed to break his silence and discuss with young high school students. It is The Parisian which reveals this surprising information on Wednesday, January 12. The French composer spoke with ” Victoria and Malena, two first year students at the Joffre high school in Montpellier (Hérault)”. Last spring, the 70-year-old artist answered their questions in writing. The health crisis was one of the main topics discussed in this interview. Jean-Jacques Goldman spoke of the fate of “his mother, who had been confined for four years during the Second World War”, of her lack of that “most banal carelessness of entering a restaurant, a theater, a gym without fear” or the fate of young artists who were about to launch when the health crisis hit.
This interview was transcribed into a 126-page book, Stars & High school students positive against the coronavirus, produced by two classes of Second. The book is sold at 24 euros on the establishment website. All profits will be donated to the Red Cross. Jean-Jacques Goldman is not the only celebrity to have contributed to the magazine. Sophie Marceau, Francis Cabrel, Julien Clerc, Patrick Bruel, Pierre-Richard and even Mark Harmon, the star of the series NCIS, took part in the Q&A game for a good cause. Asked by The Parisian, Patrick Loubatière, the French teacher behind this initiative, confirmed that Jean-Jacques Goldman was obviously the “most inaccessible” personality among all those who were contacted.
