A book and hopes for his return

This unpublished issue of

Vivement Dimanche 

will be recorded without an audience, the Covid-19 pandemic requires.

Michel Drucker will be returning to bookstores at the same time, with the release at the end of April of a book called 

Ça ira better tomorrow

.

The 78-year-old host will recount his difficult months at the end of 2020, including the pain and anxieties stemming from his recent health problems. 

In January 2021, during the back-to-school press conference for France Televisions, Michel Drucker explained (from his home) that he hoped to return to the air "in the spring".

"I would have finished my rehabilitation, I hope to come back (let's dream a little) vaccinated, without a mask, relaxed and with theaters and cinemas open again", he explained then.

Michel Drucker will be the guest of
