Carla Bruni scheduled to jam with McCartney, Metallica on BBC show
France’s first lady, is expected to jam on British television with Paul McCartney and Metallica.
Former supermodel Carla Bruni, who married French President Nicolas Sarkozy in February, is slated to appear on BBC’s Later Ö With Jools Holland on September 16th.
In July, Bruni released her latest album, Comme si de Rien N’Ètait (As If Nothing Happened), which raised a few eyebrows with its risquÈ lyrics concerning her paramour, Sarkozy.
As she sings in Ta Tienne (Yours): “You are my lord, you’re my darling, you’re my orgy Ö my charming Prince I am yours Ö I who always sought fire, am burning for you like a pagan woman.”
And in My Drug, she croons that her lover is her drug, “more deadly than Afghan heroin, more dangerous than Colombian white [powder].”
A BBC statement says Bruni, 40, will perform “a song or two from her recently released third album.”
Sharing the spotlight will be heavy rockers Metallica, making their first appearance on the show in 12 years, who will play new songs from their ninth album, Death Magnetic.
Ex-Beatle McCartney will team up with record producer and bassist Martin Glover under the name The Fireman.
Tradition usually has Holland’s guests jamming together after the opening credits.
