This Tuesday, November 29, 2022, Dave gave an exclusive interview to our Parisian colleagues. On the occasion of World AIDS Day which will take place this Thursday December 1, the singer has agreed to perform his hit “Du Côté de chez Swann”. A title that he wanted to rewrite in a more committed way. ” If you’re going to take another trip to Swann’s / to find love there / don’t take the crazy risk / of getting lost / not protecting yourself “, he should sing. Words that seem close to her heart. ” When they contacted me, I immediately said yes ! “, she confided.
“Aware of the deadly danger of AIDS”
If Dave is particularly affected by this virus, it is because the artist has seen several of his relatives being overwhelmed by the disease. ” In the 80s, I went clubbing a lot with friends. With Patrick, we often went to California to halve the winter. We were therefore very quickly made aware of the deadly danger of AIDS. Death entered our life at that moment. I was 40 when it started falling around me. I was like, ‘Hoop! Maybe we should stop joking around and live a life of freedom like that.’ My manager at the time died of AIDS a few months before triple therapy arrived in France. 80% of my closest friends died of AIDS. I think about it all the time ‘ he said before adding: ‘ Sometimes when I go to my country house in the south, in the Vaucluse, I say to myself: ‘Oh! So-and-so would have loved to be here.’ As France Gall’s song says: ‘We always laugh, but not like before’ “. Shocking confessions.
