Bruno Pelletier Appears on Bonsoir Bonsoir for a Candid Conversation About Aging and Longevity in the Music Industry
During a recent appearance on the popular Quebec talk show Bonsoir Bonsoir, renowned singer Bruno Pelletier engaged in an open and heartfelt discussion with host Jean-Sébastien Girard. The two delved into the themes of aging, maintaining relevance, and enduring success within the highly competitive entertainment industry.
Pelletier took the opportunity to reflect on what it means to remain popular over the years while embracing the label of being an old-timer. He openly admitted that he identifies with this term, especially in light of a personal gesture he made—an autographed vinyl record which Jean-Sébastien read aloud during the show.
“Thanks, Jean-Sébastien, for helping keep the spirit of the old-timers alive,” the inscription read. The host was clearly surprised and asked, “You’re not an old-timer yourself?”
Pelletier responded with a genuine tone, saying, “Yes, I’m gradually getting there—and I say this with pride. There’s a famous saying in this line of work: The important thing is to last. When I launched my first album back in 1992, I had no idea if I’d get to release two, three, or four records. Now, I’m nearly at sixteen albums, and I’m still touring. The idea of being ‘privileged’ has become somewhat cliché, but honestly, that’s how I feel. We become old-timers, slowly but surely—and I see nothing negative in that at all. Not for me, at least.”
Throughout the conversation, Pelletier expressed sincere gratitude to Jean-Sébastien for being a champion of his art and that of many other seasoned artists through his program, JS Tendresse. The show continues to highlight the careers and ongoing creativity of music veterans with decades of experience.
There’s no doubt that Bruno Pelletier continues to captivate audiences with his powerful voice and immense artistic talent, resonating across generations.
