On June 4, France Castel had a long interview on ICI Radio Canada, where she confessed that like Maurane she found it challenging to separate herself from the character. She was the same age as her character Stella Spotlight and experienced similar addiction issues. So, the lines “Ce soir j’irai voir à travers le miroir si la vie est éternelle” reflected her real self.

France Castel is 80 and for this broadcast she recorded “Les adieux d'un sex symbol” with her friend Louise Forestier among others on the back vocals.

It’s a true sincere and mature farewell, as France Castel is planning to retire.

Starmania section is between 1hr 15 min and 1 ht 40 minutes -
