Charles Aznavour is 90 years old: Legendary chansonnier will celebrate his birthday in Germany

YEREVAN, MAY 22, ARMENPRESS. The best singer of the 20th century, composer, poet, actor, National Hero of Armenia, recipient of the French Order of the Legion of Honor, a living legend … This listing is not complete enough to fully describe and present the world's most famous Armenian Charles Aznavour. Today, on May 22, the legendary French-Armenian singer turned 90 years old. "You will win the world because you can excite" – on some occasion Charles de Gaulle said this to Aznavour. With this prediction the greatest political and military figure of France was not mistaken. Aznavour has really managed to kneel down the world.

Nevertheless, many obstacles has the legendary singer met on his way. "My path has not been easy and peaceful. I have felt much bitterness on that path, closed doors on my face, smiles full of irony, malignant gossip" - this is how the living legend characterizes his career path.

Despite all this, “the Armenia with the hoarse voice” occupied his firm and irreplaceable place in the world music art.

The legend will not mark his 90th birthday anniversary alone. The German audience will be present at Aznavour’s 90th anniversary celebrations on May 22. The legendary singer will perform two concerts in Germany: one - in Berlin to celebrate his birthday, and then, on May 24, in Frankfurt.

“Armenpress” cordially congratulates the living legend on his birthday and wishes long life, health and new creative achievements.
