A highly anticipated speech. This Sunday, Kendji Girac was one of the three guests on the show “Un Dimanche à la Campagne” on France 2. Much awaited since, as it was teased for several days, the gypsy singer returned to the accident which almost cost him his life last April and which hit the headlines. Hospitalized following a gunshot wound, the artist, who first mentioned the mishandling of a weapon, quickly found himself in the middle of a case of marital dispute and blackmail by suicide. A painful ordeal for which he apologizes in the song “Si only…”, a single from his latest album “Vivre”, but which he also mentioned furtively during his appearance on the show “8:30 p.m. on Sunday ” on France 2. On the same channel, but in the context more conducive to the confession of “A Sunday in the Country”, Kendji Girac therefore expressed his views on this matter.
