New distinction for Michel Sardou. The singer will be elevated to the dignity of grand officer of the national order of merit, according to a decree of November 29, published in the Official Gazette. Michel Sardou has been an officer of the Order of Merit since 1996.
Named Chevalier of the Legion of Honor by François Mitterrand in 1993, then Officer of the Legion of Honor by Jacques Chirac in 2001, the singer was elevated to the dignity of Commander of the Legion of Honor in 2021. This is Roselyne Bachelot, then Minister of Culture, who decorated him… before testing positive for Covid the next day.
“They gave me this rubbish at the same time as the title of commander. I am a Covid commander,” Michel Sardou joked in Le Parisien.
If Michel Sardou finally did not have Covid, the minister had to be hospitalized and was about to die.
“Emmanuel Macron was supposed to give me this cross,” explained Michel Sardou, but given his current concerns, I told myself it was better to leave him alone. I asked my friend Roselyne if she could give it to me to return it to her. “
Politico assures that Emmanuel Macron should distinguish the singer this time. Although, as in 2021, there is no shortage of “current concerns.”
