End clap for Renaud. Saturday evening in Deauville, the singer put an end to his major “Dans mes cordons” tour after 131 concerts given throughout France, Belgium and Switzerland over the past two years. A somewhat bitter ending for the 72-year-old artist: “ I would have preferred to finish it in a large room. I like big masses, communions, like Paul McCartney, who I went to see in Paris » he explains in the columns of Parisian : « Tonight, it's the smallest room of my career, 450 seats, with the very first, La pizza du Marais. But it's a great emotion. I'm afraid, I feel like I'm losing something… A team “. However, this round of singing was very eventful. Over the months, numerous videos shared on social networks have greatly worried fans about the singer's health as well as his voice, making the classics of his repertoire unrecognizable.

“It’s quite difficult but I’m getting there”
Critics that Renaud sweeps it away today, silencing the evil tongues who thought he would not make it to the end of the tour: “ This is my 131st date! They should have turned their tongues in their mouths seven times. I never had any doubts. From the first rehearsals, I knew that musically, it was going to work with these magnificent strings “. Likewise when Jean-Claude Camus, former producer of Johnny Hallyday, recently declared that he would be better off stopping. “ I haven't heard it, but it annoys me. “The idiot who would want to bury me was either not born or born badly.” I quote myself » he proclaims in reference to his song “Toujours Debout”.
As for opinions on his voice, the singer doesn't care: “ People support it. They sing with me. I rehearse before all my concerts, between six and ten songs. And despite everything, it's quite difficult. But hey, I'm getting there ». Et Renaud ensures that there is “ not much » of fans who refuse to come see him: “ We age, we change, we have to understand. As for me, the stage makes me live and inactivity kills me. I thank my fans who are always there. All the rooms were filled except Dunkerque and Alençon “. If he admits to not being “ no way » tired, the interpreter of “Morgane de toi” reveals that he recently had bronchitis which forced him to cancel two concerts: “ This had never happened to me. I gave up alcohol three and a half years ago and cigarettes a year and nine months ago. I smoke one cigarette a month. The next one is January 10 “. After this marathon tour, Renaud will take a little rest before embarking on writing a new album which he hopes to see released in 2026.
