At 33, singer Vianney is one of the most popular figures on the French music scene. The one who composes songs for himself, but also for other artists, recently surprised his fans by announcing that he no longer wishes to do concerts. The artist, known for his touching melodies and sincere lyrics, explained that he needed a change of pace in his career, after several years of intense touring and resounding success. But above all he feels the need to stay with his wife, the musician Catherine Robert, his three-year-old son, and his daughter-in-law.
Vianney: a new life far from the stage
Since its beginnings, Vianney has conquered the hearts of the public with flagship titles like Not there, I’m leavingor even Step-dad. His boundless energy on stage and his interaction with his fans made his concerts special moments. Yet despite this unique connection with the public, the artist revealed that he wanted to put an end to this part of his career to focus on other aspects of music and his personal life.
During various interviews, Vianney explained that this decision was not motivated by a disenchantment with the stage, but rather by a quest for balance. The artist, who is also a new father, has expressed a desire to spend more time with his family and slow down the hectic pace of touring, which is often physically and emotionally exhausting.
Family above all
A perfectionist, Vianney always gave the best of himself during his performances, often in packed houses. But this intensity also comes at a cost. In his confidences, the artist spoke of the fatigue accumulated over the years, the stress of constant travel and the impact that this nomadic life could have on his private life.
Moreover, Since becoming a father, balancing his career and personal life has become a priority. Vianney has always shown a strong attachment to family values, and today he seems to want to devote more time to his role as a father and his domestic life.
In an interview given to RTLVianney said: “I don’t want to be away anymore, I want to be there for my family. Touring is great, but it’s also a lot of absences.” This need to slow down, to take a step back, therefore seems to be at the heart of his decision to no longer do concerts.
A little unexpected return
This Sunday, October 20, 2024, Vianney celebrated ten years of career. His very first album called White ideas was in fact released on October 20, 2014. For the tenth anniversary of his career, the man who is the fifth favorite personality of the French then organized a charity concert, the opportunity for him to reconnect with his audience via the stage, for an evening only.
This concert organized for the benefit of Telethonof which he was the godfather last year, was held at the Ferber studio in Paris on Sunday evening. Armed with his guitar, the father covered several of his hits during a livestream concert. Enough to raise nearly 20,000 euros for the association.
If Vianney has decided to put an end to his concerts, This doesn’t mean he plans to stop playing music. The artist expressed his desire to continue composing, writing and producing music. He has already collaborated with several artists and will probably continue to do so, behind the scenes. In 2022, he participated in the production of tracks for singers like Patrick Bruel, Kendji Girac and Louane and in 2023, he released his fourth studio album entitled “A 2 à 3”.
