Guest of In the retro this Monday, April 22 at the microphone of Déborah Grunwald, Grégoire releases his seventh studio album, entitled Live, and goes on tour throughout France (Bordeaux, Strasbourg, Besançon, Dijon, Rennes and Paris). Simple but fair, gentle and touching, the lyrics of Grégoire’s songs are often sunny, resilient, nostalgic… They bear witness to life, to emotions. Like the singer. He returned to the tragic deaths of two of his brothers when he was 23 and 27 years old and said he had forgiven Nicolas, who took his own life in 2007: “You have to forgive, that’s the most important thing. Forgive yourself and then forgive the other. The most important thing in life is forgiveness“. But the author of You + Me also spoke about his wife and his relationship with fatherhood.
Grégoire looks back on the love at first sight he had for his wife Eleonore
“I met her on October 1st, and I proposed to her on the 24th“, begins Grégoire when Déborah Grunwald mentions his wife, Eleonore, met at a wedding in Gers in 2011. As they married on August 25, 2012, the singer made a promise to himself: “If I ever get married, it will be forever“.”Is this an easy promise to keep?“, asks his hostess. “Yes. Afterwards, I think I was very lucky“, answers Grégoire, straightforwardly. And to elaborate: “I’ve had a few relationships before, obviously, and I’ve had, in particular, relationships that weren’t necessarily very happy. And these relationships allowed me to become aware of what I didn’t need and what I didn’t want. And so when I met Eleonore, she corresponded exactly to what I was looking for, in a certain way. But thanks also to the bad relationships from before.”
