Jones, who is one of the six members of the jury of the brand new TF1 program entitled Dream Team: the succession of Stars, took the opportunity to give an update on his friend's life during the interview. He also spoke about their longstanding friendship and his understanding of Goldman's desire to stay away from the media. According to Jones, Goldman is not interested in the fame and attention that comes with being a successful musician and prefers to live a quiet life away from the public eye.
Despite his absence from the media, Goldman remains one of the most popular figures in French music. In December 2022, he was named the favorite personality of the French for the ninth time in ten years by the Sunday Journal. Fans of his music will be pleased to hear that he is doing well and that his friend Michael Jones is keeping in touch with him.
Jones also spoke about his own experiences as a musician and his early days in the music industry. He recalled his meeting with Goldman in 1978, when he was asked to replace him in the Taï Phong group on tour. Jones said that he quickly realized why Goldman did not want to go on the tour, as the group had an inflated sense of their own importance and thought they were as big as Pink Floyd, even though they were playing to small crowds of no more than 300 people.
Overall, Jones' interview with Public magazine provides a rare insight into the life of Jean-Jacques Goldman and will be welcomed by his fans around the world. While the singer may prefer to keep a low profile, it is clear that he is still loved and admired by millions of people, and that his music will continue to inspire and uplift for many years to come.
