The affair shocked fans of Kendji Giracbut also the general public. On April 22, the winner of The Voice was close to death after shooting himself with a gun. While the 27-year-old artist initially spoke of a “domestic accident“, the investigation carried out by the courts produced very different conclusions. On June 24, the public prosecutor of Mont-de-Marsan, Olivier Janson, spoke to discuss the investigations. “It has been established that the shooting was deliberately provoked by Mr Girac himself.“, he confided. During an audition on May 15, the singer had put his gesture “exclusively due to his advanced state of alcoholism, aggravated by the use of narcotics (cocaine)“.

All that is not part of me. I’m not a boy like that. That’s why I’m telling you that I got lost and that I want to apologize to you today.“, he explains. Kendji Girac wants to determine to fight his demons and start a new chapter in his life. “I want to thank you. Thank you for being so kind to me, for not judging me when I hurt you. It’s up to me now to show you who I am, to regain your trust, because it takes action and I’ll do everything to live up to it now.“, he added.
