The singer ended his life on Sunday December 10, announced his music group. A singer of a cappella music, he made himself known to the general public with the success of “Chat” in 1992, and the revival of “Lion est mort ce soir”.
“The “cat” singer will have had seven lives too, he could no longer bear the last one,” we can read in the press release published by Pow Wow. Pascal Periz, known as the singer of the group, ended his life at the age of 62 on Sunday December 10 in Caen (Calvados). Pow Wow announces this Monday, December 11, the loss of a “brother of song, a brother of laughter, dreams, hope and sleepless nights.”
In the 90s, Pascal Periz put his group Alligators on hiatus to devote himself fully to his new creation. Pow Wow, an a cappella doo-wop group, a vocal variation of rhythm and blues, was then composed of Ahmed Mouici, Bertrand Pierre and Alain Chennevière and found success in 1992, with the album Regagner les plaines, diamond disk ( a million copies sold) carried by the Cat and the Lion died this evening, with Pascal Periz in the main voice. The first even won the prize for winning the original song in 1993. But the group’s notoriety faded in the 2000s, and despite a new album in 2005, the group broke up. Its musicians begin solo careers. Pascal Periz released Tableaus de vies in 2013.
Pierre-Nicolas Cléré, show producer, confirms that Pascal Periz had suffered from depression for several years, and had spent time in a rest home.
