48Before setting off again on the roads of France for the tour The 80s, Sloane gave an interview to the magazine Gala the July 13 2023.
Vocals-wise, we heard each other very well, but everything else was terrible. We made this success together, we had 2 magical voices, we could go far, but he ruined everything. The first 6 months were extraordinary, after that I went through hell. I was dealing with an abusive partner, but I couldn't say or do anything because I was under contract. I believed in this duo and I did not want to reveal the violence he showed towards me. Despite everything, we had the Stars 80 films and we still had some great tours…
I've been on stage since I was little. I was taught that the stage was a magical place, which must be respected and if you are in pain, the audience must not know about it. It took me so many years to get there that I wasn't going to stop everything just because Peter was violent and mentally ill. For a very long time, Peter and I only talked to each other on stage. Actually, I'm a very good actress. It lasted for a while, then I called it quits and the duo stopped in 1986. I held on because my audience is my whole life.
I couldn't take it anymore, I weighed 42 kilos and was 1m68 tall. I had a major nervous breakdown. I wanted to die. On the one hand, I had the happiness of my audience and the success, and on the other, I had the horror of this partner where I was afraid every time I saw him. He always said he never touched me, but we were together from 1983 to 1985. But we never lived together. I left him several times, he kept coming back to look for me. He knows very well what happened between us. I certainly would have suffered a lot less if we had never dated.
At a gala, no one ever talks to me about Peter. It took me a while to get admitted to the agents on my own, but now it's working very well. If you knew how happy I have been for 10 years...
He no longer exists for me.
