An autobiography to 29 years...


This is not a little premature?



Faudel. It is true but I needed this clarification. For me, all went badly and I decided of recoller the pieces. I chose then, through this book, to say my truth. Without pretension, I don't have a life as the other. I already have thirteen years of career behind me, it is not common. And my goal is not to pay me a shrink thanks to the readers. I already gave in this register. To go from the before, it was necessary that I overtly speak of my worries.

"I think of having paid dear enough the after-Concorde...


What is you he arrived?


I have been hospitalized, in the month of last July, after an attempt of suicide. One could have heard to the Faudel infos" died ", I failed to let attract me by the emptiness. At us, the rebeux, the depression is considered like a problem of rich. One doesn't have the right. A long time, I hid while thinking that I controled the situation. To 15 years, while leaving my district of the Valley-lined, to Mantis-the-pretty, me I am recovered propelled in the middle of the disk, with a little money. I started buying people around me then. I squandered. My environment, my family didn't quite have me of the prepared to that. And then, in my culture, the social success is often associated to guilt.

What sort of guilt?

Opposite a mother who wants to choose his son's wife, for example. I am sure that all French of origin from the Maghreb that succeeds know that. I am going to be hard: I sometimes have the impression that, at home, the parents make some children only to insure a retirement. He also happens to them of not to accept their son's woman from all. In my middle, a family says" One succeeded" while only counting on one only of his members. It is all for one and one on all! It is unbearable. Now, after to have told all that, it is necessary that I get back to work. It is the best medicine. My job, it is to sing.

Do you work on a new disk?


Yes, it will be the last for Universal. There will be a part recorded in Egypt and the other in France, with people as Pascal Obispo or Robert Goldman. I think that my case is going to inspire them. I am going to leave also in tour.
Once besides, I am going to try to be sincere, in my life as in my work, even though I perceive that that is not pleasing to everybody. As when I announced that I was of right and that I sustained Nicolas Sarkozy.
I think of having paid dear enough the after-Concorde...

No regrets about this engagement?

That allowed me to make the sorting among my friends. I thought besides that Nicolas Sarkozy was going to forget me
installed once in his armchair. Not at all: it is the only one to call me to ask me how I go! This man is indeed out norms.

What do you think of his quinquennial beginning?
I didn't sustain it to be part of the court. After, his private life... I would never take the liberty to say that is well either that is not well. I hope in any case that the woman that he married is going to make he happy.
Do you know Carla Bruni?

I met it once on a tray television. She lives next to my home but I don't know it more that that. I hope rightly that she is going well to manage his position.
Were you invited to the marriage?

No. Once besides, I didn't sustain it to accompany it in his displacements. For me, it is president's new style. At least, he says the truth, he doesn't lie as his predecessors,
Mitterrand or Chirac. And then, it is a worker, he tries to move the things. When I met it, eight years ago, he got married my buddy footballer Ali Benarbia (NDLR: an old of the PSG). His
future woman had a dress naked back and Sarkozy made a speech like what he expected to get married a veiled woman... That immediately pleased me.
