On November 1, Renaud announced that he would interrupt his concert tour and cancel several concerts. If the 72-year-old singer did not give the reasons for this decision, it was quickly assumed that it is linked to his rather failing health in recent years.

Although he seemed to be doing better, we learned on November 1 thathe is forced to cancel two concerts planned as part of the tour“In my ropes”.

The artist arrived on the arm of Cerise, his partner who became his wife, recently.
As a reminder, the young forty-year-old was originally a fan of the singer and their meeting then changed everything. “She's been following me for thirty steps, but we first met six years ago, on a TV set. She wore cherry earrings, unforgettable! That's why I Cerise calls. She had asked for my contact to give me a gift. She is a seamstress and made me a shirt out of bandanas. This touched me. We talked, I invited her for coffee at home, in Paris, then in Provence, then on vacation in Cap-Ferret. It makes me want to travel, to take her to Venice, to Greece, to the island of Patmos, where I spent the best vacation of my life…” said the singer.
Now married, the singer and the pretty 43-year-old brunette whose name is actually Christine, have also bought a house in Trentemoult, a small fishing village located in Loire-Atlantique, where they have settled, far from the Parisian agitation.
