In 1989, Jean-Pierre François was ranked second in the Top 50 with his hit “Je te survivrai”. Unfortunately the handsome footballer-singer quickly disappeared from the artistic world.
Before holding the microphone, Jean-Pierre François was a “pro” in the famous team of Saint-Etienne in 1987. Then, he suddenly ended his sporting career in 1988 to launch into singing. A great success since its title “I will survive you” played in all the discotheques of France of the time and flew over the hits. His career as a singer was not longer than that of a footballer. When he chose to leave the media industry, Jean-Pierre François decided to open a bar PMU with his companion in the Yes. This closed its doors in 2016. Luck? He's going to give it to his daughter Sandy François who, in 2004, joined the fourth season of the show Star Academy. Jean-Pierre François will also make a few appearances there during the bonuses. His daughter will go as far as the semi-final and the tele-hook will be won that year by Grégory Lemarchal.
Since Sandy François opened a restaurant in Saint Tropez. His father, now a grandfather (he has two grandchildren) sometimes comes to sing along.
After being the manager of a nightclub in Saint-Cyprien, Jean-Pierre François returned to his first passion which is football as a manager (honorary president of the club Ramatuelle). Some time ago, he was considering creating a women's team.
