Questioned by AFP, show producer Pierre-Nicolas Cléré specified that the artist, depressed for several years and spent in a rest home, ended his life. “We will miss his voice, his talent, his humor, we have lost a brother, a brother of singing, a brother of laughter, of dreams, of hope and of sleepless nights,” explains the group’s press release.
A first album in the form of consecration
It was Pascal Periz, the solo singer of the hit “Le Chat”, released in 1992. The three other members, Alain Chennevière, Bertrand Pierre and Ahmed Mouici, provided backing vocals on this piece at the time. Return to the plains, their first album, released the same year, with another success, “Le lion est mort ce soir”, a cover, was that of consecration. The group then gradually lost notoriety from the 2000s.
