Pierre Papadiamandis is dead, Eddy Mitchell loses his traveling companion

Pierre Papadiamandis is dead learned Purepeople.com. His death occurred on Tuesday March 22, 2022, in a Parisian hospital. The artist, born in Paris but of Greek origin, was 85 years old. He was a loyal companion of singer Eddy Mitchell. The musical work of Pierre Papadiamandis will survive him since we owed the late pianist and composer no less than 250 songs! It was in the 1960s that his career took off when he met Eddy Mitchell, who asked him to join his orchestra to play the song Always a corner that reminds me of Bobino on the piano. After that, Pierre Papadiamandis had proposed to the singer the composition of the title I forgot to forget it, which will mark the beginning of a 50-year artistic collaboration underlines Nostalgie! We owe him two of the biggest hits of Eddy’s career: The Last Session and Mint Water Color. They will work together on multiple projects, such as the Jambalaya disc, recorded in 2006. An album which had taken Eddy Mitchell to the studio in Los Angeles to find his friend Johnny Hallyday with whom he shared the title We want legends. This artistic understanding, which had made Pierre Papadiamandis the “musical double” of the crooner, had continued to the end since they worked together on Country Rock, the 39th and last record to date by Eddy Mitchell, released in November 2021. Asked by Le Parisien last year, in full promotion, the singer then declared: “I did not work only with him, of course, but I never considered an album without him. We always want and need to work. It boosts us, we don’t see the time passing. Without Pierre, I would never have made this career (…) Pierre’s thing is slow songs. And he is extremely perfectionist, always looking for the perfect piece.” There is no doubt that today he is bereaved by the death of his friend.
