Stephan Eicher explains why he does not collect a Swiss pension

Swiss musician Stephan Eicher, 65, is not drawing a pension (AHV) despite his age. He left Switzerland at 16 and only returned at 60, with most of his income originating from France. Eicher declined an early pension payout in France at 62 because he is still actively working. He emphasizes that retirement is not viewed as a life goal in France, unlike in Switzerland, where people often define themselves by their pension status. The artist recently released his new album "Poussière d’or," which he describes as an "embrace album" featuring quieter songs. He also discussed his ongoing stage fright and his commitment to his team, stating that he is responsible for their livelihoods.
