"Renaud, do not leave concrete". He had just reconnected with him in epistolary fashion after years of silence, particularly worried about the "demons", alcohol and depression, the singer, who then said he could no longer sing. "What to do to watch you sink your arms crossed? Unimaginable! To resume the slogan you had printed in The Morning of Paris in 1988 to incite Tonton to represent: 'Renaud, let not concrete!'", Wrote- he then. And Renaud has not "left concrete" since he returned in 2016 with his 16th album "Renaud", the biggest selling album in France that year, before going on tour in packed halls.
