Facing Frédéric Lopez, he tells the story. “I’m at my mom’s house, and there in the middle of the night, I hear her voice shouting my name.

He taught me the piano, he taught me everything. It’s a world that’s falling apart“, he testifies. He adds: “At that moment, I said to myself that losing a brother is less terrible than losing a son.
