PARIS (AP) – As France’s first lady, singer Carla Bruni-Sarkozy says she is giving up concerts until her husband is out of office, a French newspaper reported Saturday.

Bruni-Sarkozy, who has a new album out next month, was quoted in the Liberation newspaper as saying she will continue to promote her music on television.

“But I can’t go on stage because I can’t allow myself to drag along a security setup that, in my opinion, would be shocking,” she was quoted as saying. “I’ll give concerts again once my husband is no longer president.”

The 40-year-old model-turned-singer married President Nicolas Sarkozy in February.
