Patrick Bruel announced yesterday to cancel his summer concerts. In fact, he will not perform at the Pully Live Festival on June 25. This is a relief for the organizers who feared demonstrations around the French singer targeted by complaints and accusations of sexual assault, including rape.
The PLR and the PS of Pully had asked the organizers of the Pully Live Festival to cancel the arrival of Patrick Bruel themselves but, for questions of compensation due to the artist, the situation of the Vaud event was delicate. However, talks had been initiated, in secret, with the singer, reveals Michel Marguerat, boss of the festival, to “24 Heures”.
The Patrick Bruel concert was to be sold out. So what about tickets purchased by the public? They will not be reimbursed, explains the Pully Live Festival. But they will remain valid for a new artist who will be scheduled for June 25. “It’s practically found. We will say more next week,” Michel Marguerat announces to our colleagues.
