“I have no reason to stop concerts”. At 94, Hugues Aufray triumphs at the Olympia!

At 94 years old, Hugues Aufray continues to sing on all stages of France: Sunday January 14 he performed at the Olympia where he offered a superb performance in front of a totally won over audience.

Hugues Aufray is in great shape and he proved it again this Sunday at Paris where he performed on the legendary stage of the'Olympia. The 94-year-old singer and newlywed performed the main titles of his repertoire with incredible ease. He often joked with the audience

I'm going to sing you a song from 1964, which I defended at Eurovision. But you cannot know: you were not born...

Are there any young people in the room?

No question for him of thinking about retirement:

I only make music, I play guitar every day. I have no reason to stop concerts. It amuses me a lot. As long as the audience follows and I can last two hours of show.  A secret ? No cigarettes and no alcohol. I stopped both a long time ago. These two things are what kill people the most. You have to be an imbecile not to understand that. But beware. I'm not an extremist: for a party or a birthday, I take a glass to toast... I also eat less and less meat and I make light dinners. After a concert, you need time to debrief with the musicians, have a bite to eat and let the pressure off. If I go to the provinces, I generally go there the day before. And more and more often by train
