Hervé Vilard: an expected concert and a huge disappointment
A missed and failed meeting
Hervé Vilard’s concert, organized at the Vandeuvre-lès-Nancy exhibition center, had everything to please. Except that the evening quickly turned to tension. Several spectators evoke an artist “arrogant “,” disrespectful “,” cold with his audience “. But these are above all the words of the mayor of the cityStéphane Donati, who drives the nail: “We obviously hoped that the concert takes place differently, but we found a gentleman who, I would say, was not very happy to age,”, he said in the columns ofActu.fr Lorraine.

Hervé Vilard “unpleasant” “concert: why did he refuse to be filmed?
Another discord: The singer’s refusal to appear on giant screens. A forgetfulness in the contract, according to elected officials: “We had not taken the precaution of indicating it, it is our fault. And, he did not make a fault that would have allowed us not to pay it”. Faced with the torrent of criticism, Hervé Vilard gave his version of the facts: “It was planned by contract that I give a tour of poetic songs, and not to present a variety show with an acoustics.” And conclude: “I recognize that I should not have accepted this withdrawal in a soulless place to sing Aragon, Jean Genet and Capri, it’s over. It was inaudible.” Words that did not please the elected officials and the inhabitants of the small town …
As a reminder, this is not the first time that singer Hervé Vilard has been virulent in his words. In 2023, during an interview with Luxe Jordan, the septuagenarian was not very friendly with the young presenter. As usual, Jordan de Luxe went to his favorite land: that of money and more specifically the amount of his guest’s retirement pension. He asked financial questions to his guest, who did not allow himself to be done, to say the least. “Indeed sir yes, I find it lamentable that brilliant people lend themselves to your stupid game. The bitterness me, don’t know. I say what I want in the face of rat”he replied.
