Indeed, the interpreter of “knowing how to love” explains that he received the text from Vianney on January 12, 2023, just a year after the public announcement of his cancer. “” I was right in history. I said to her “Listen, you sent me a magnificent song with a magnificent message that can concern a lot of people. But I’m not going to sing it right away. We’re going to wait a bit, I will see when I want to go back” »Relates the singer at the microphone of Thomas Sotto.

Every three months, for years, you have to check. We are lucky to be able to do it, otherwise I will not be there. I am in a very particular context: I had only one tumor, just a lozeng, and the treatments worked ». As he admits, this new album will be a ” springboard For his large tour scheduled in 2026. He will travel all the largest rooms in France, Belgium and Switzerland before settling in Olympia for a 20 dates residence next summer.
