Vianney increasingly rare on the front of the stage

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. “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.” he declared during a recent interview with RTL.
A rare appearance for a great event

“25 years ago, I started this relationship with the Galleries, because my mother, who is there even though frankly, she doesn’t come to all the concerts, but there, she insisted on coming because we this story where she took me with the windows, on Wednesday afternoon, there was no school, so we could go see the windows” he then remembered.
And to conclude with emotion: “When suddenly there is childhood calling, resurfacing, and we no longer ask the question, and we go for it. To come and sing there, I consider that it is obviously a great opportunity I brought my whole family, my parents, my wife, my son, I never do that, but it’s really specialit looks like a job because there are lots of people, lots of cameras, but when I do it with family, it’s a little more than that“.
