===Comeback===
Twenty years after "Ça plane pour moi", Bertrand returned to the public eye as [[MTV]] declared him the "most wanted comeback artist".{{citation needed| date= May 2018}} He made a guest appearance on the album ''Get Ready!'', and rerecorded the 1982 song "Stop ou encore", which went originally [[platinum disc|platinum]] in [[Belgium]]. A "best of" album was released in 1998 on the Universal-AMC label, Bertrand himself handling the remastering process.

Aside from a resurgence in his musical career, Plastic Bertrand made numerous guest appearances on European television, and presented the fortnightly show ''Duel'' for two seasons at [[RTBF]]. He also worked with Pierrette Broodthaers to open the "Broodthaers & Bertrand" art gallery, and worked with the Museum of Contemporary Art in [[Valenciennes]] and Belgian artist [[Jacques Charlier]] to produce 120 [[Andy Warhol]]-style portraits.

In 2001, Bertrand toured Belgium, France, Switzerland and Germany with a series of concerts, and composed a number of new songs. He also made appearances on [[Channel 4]]'s ''[[Eurotrash (TV series)|Eurotrash]]'' show and [[BBC Two]]'s chat show ''[[Jeremy Clarkson|Clarkson]]''.

In 2002, he signed a new contract and recorded his eighth album ''Ultra terrestre'', released in Belgium in 2002. In September and November the same year, he managed the TV talent contest ''Star Academy'' on RTL-TVI.

In March 2003, to celebrate 25 years since the beginning of his successful solo career, Bertrand performed a concert at the Cirque Royal in Brussels, performing new songs and past hits with a [[philharmonic orchestra]], and singing in duet with guest singers.

From July to September 2003, he presented the TV show ''Hit Story'' on [[France 3]].
