Tournée de Bertrand Cantat: d'autres concerts annulés?


READ MORE

Déjà un concert annulé pour Bertrand Cantat, et les autres dates de sa tournée, si elles sont maintenues, donnent déjà lieu à des polémiques.


L’ancien chanteur de Noir Désir débute en effet sa tournée Amor Fati  (du nom de son premier album solo) jeudi 1er mars à La Rochelle. Mais alors que les agressions sexuelles et les violences faites aux femmes font particulièrement débat depuis plusieurs mois, la venue de l’artiste pose problème dans plusieurs villes.

Car le chanteur est devenu depuis la mort de Marie Trintignan au moins autant un symbole des violences conjugales qu’il est une icône du rock français. A ce drame qui lui a valu quatre ans de prison il faut ajouter de récents témoignages évoquant un comportement habituel envers ses compagnes et le dépot d’une main courante à son encontre révélé par Le Point.


Les Escales de Saint-Nazaire avait déjà annulé son concert prévu le 29 juillet prochain. Les organisateurs de l’évènement ont finalement fait volte-face devant la désapprobation de “plusieurs personnes, des sphères publiques et privées”.

Et l’approche de ses autres concerts semble déjà provoquer d’autres levées de boucliers. Une première a déjà eu lieu autour du festival Papillons de nuit qui se tiendra du 18 au 20 mai à Saint-Laurent-de-Cuves (Manche). Une pétition en ligne sur change.org contre sa venue avait recueilli ce mercredi plus de 60.000 signatures.


Cas isolés ou début d’une contestation plus générale? Aucun appel à manifester n’a été lancé concernant le concert rochelais de jeudi, ce qui ne garanti pas l’absence d’initiatives individuelles ou de petits groupes. A Montpellier, ou le chanteur se produira (en théorie) le 12 mars dans le cadre du festival Rockstore, certains prévoient déjà un rassemblement, rapporte Midi Libre.

Canadian expected to be aboard Russia's 1st manned space mission since rocket failure

READ MORE The first manned mission to the International Space Station since a Russian rocket failed to launch successfully earlier this month may take off on Dec. 3, space agency Roscosmos said on Wednesday. And the crew is expected to include Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques, Agence France-Press reported. A Russian cosmonaut and U.S. astronaut were forced to abort their mission on Oct. 11 and perform an emergency landing after a launch accident that Roscomos said was caused by a faulty sensor. The accident was the first serious launch problem experienced by a manned Soyuz space mission since 1983, when a crew narrowly escaped before a launch pad explosion. Sergei Krikalyov, a senior Roscosmos official, was quoted by state news agency Tass as saying the next manned launch had been planned for mid-December, but that Russia was trying to bring the date forward so that the ISS is not briefly left without a crew. “The industry is making significant efforts to move the launch t...

Getting the dope on pot stocks is becoming easier as media groups invest in content: Don Pittis

READ MORE “What’s the buzz? Tell me what’s happening,” goes the ’70s rock anthem. Part of the catchiness of the lyric — from the rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar  — was that in that era the term “buzz” had developed a second spicy meaning. It described the high that people got from smoking cannabis. In the 1970s, the magazine High Times was a brand new title keeping an eye on the illegal but growing business of marijuana pricing and sales. It ran centrefolds of glistening pot plants and of an apartment filled to the windows with what the magazine insisted was an entire ton of cannabis. Now some of Canada’s most staid media voices are looking for ways to go toe to toe with High Times and its U.S. competitors, hoping to profit from Canada’s global head start in legal recreational cannabis. But when it comes to making a killing from spreading the buzz on the cannabis biz, to q...

Toronto man denies conspiring with Marvel CEO in alleged hate mail scheme

READ MORE A Toronto man accused of conspiring with the head of Marvel Entertainment in a bizarre hate mail campaign against his wealthy former employer has denied any role in the alleged scheme. David Smith, along with Marvel CEO Isaac (Ike) Perlmutter, is the target of a slander lawsuit launched earlier this year by Canadian businessman Harold Peerenboom. Now Smith — a former employee of Peerenboom’s Toronto-based executive search firm, Mandrake Management — has filed a motion to dismiss the U.S. civil suit. It’s the latest development in the years-long legal battle between Peerenboom and Perlmutter, a notoriously reclusive American billionaire and personal friend of U.S. President Donald Trump. The hate mail campaign, which ran   between 2012 to 2015, saw anonymous letters falsely accusing Peerenboom of being a child molester, murderer and anti-Semite...
