For Romain Vidal, Christophe’s son, the auction of his father’s goods is “a money pump”. This is how he described on Facebook this sale organized by Véronique Bevilacqua, the singer’s wife from whom he had been separated since the 2000s after nearly 30 years of living together.
“I shared the auction of some of the memory objects of the great artist Christophe, I personally don’t mind for the following reasons: maybe as it says on the article they don’t have enough place, but I think it’s an “excusite”, maybe his memory also represents a money pump, “wrote the son of Christophe and Michèle Torr on his Facebook account.
Véronique Bevilacqua announced the auction on France Inter on June 21, explaining that she can “keep nothing” and her daughter “the same”. “We were both collectors of different things, even if all the American objects connected us both. Me, I have my personal collection of jukeboxes, of stations, I am armored at home so unfortunately I cannot keep anything. My daughter is the same. So we’re going to make an auction, “said Lucie’s mother.
Nevertheless, Romain Vidal hopes that his father’s goods will satisfy the fans. “These souvenir items will be bought by Christophe fans so his memory will be there, especially if they are kind enough to share them with us through the artist’s fan club,” he added. in his Facebook post.
I wish we knew each other more
The interpreter of “Mots Bleus” never officially recognized Romain Vidal, born in 1967. Christophe had explained in 2012, in “Brain Magazine”, to have “gone to see Michèle at the hospital, I wanted to”, but when the singer’s producer asked him to go recognize the child, he felt “aggression”. “If it had not been for the assault of this guy, I would have analyzed it differently, in a completely personal way, and perhaps the child would bear my name,” he added.
Christophe and his son, however, ended up making contact. “I think we didn’t have enough time to get to know each other, I wish we had known each other more. I wish I had some answers and so did he. (…) I love you very much Christophe, I miss you and I would have liked to tell you lots of things that I did not have time to tell you “, said Christophe’s son on YouTube at the time of his death, to pay homage to him.
