Gilbert Montagné absent from Stars 80: the reasons for his refusal

It's hard to mention Gilbert Montagné without thinking of his classics like "On va s’aimer" or "Sous les sunlights des tropiques", which have become timeless over the decades. While some of his songs no longer bring him revenue today, the singer remains active and inspired. He has just unveiled a new album, "L’amour dans ses mains", featuring the festive single "Ça sert à rien", a testament to his longevity in the French music scene.

Despite this impressive legacy, the artist will not participate in the tour Stars 80, with the final concerts scheduled for spring 2026. This absence raises questions, but the artist fully embraces his decision. "No, it would frustrate me to sing only three songs!" he admits, preferring to focus on shows where he can express himself fully rather than sharing the stage in a format he finds too limiting.

However, his fans will be able to see him on stage during a concert scheduled at the Dôme de Paris on February 14, 2027. This is a way for Gilbert Montagné to continue bringing his repertoire to life in his own way, away from collective tours but always close to his audience.
