The book he is about to publish has slept for four years in one of his drawers. Ultimately, these are "personal reasons" decided to bring the work out of obscurity and secrecy.

"I miss her a lot"

The 61-year-old singer appeared very emotional this Saturday evening on Bernard Montiel's set while talking about Micheline Collin, his mother. He notably confided that since her death, he continued to speak to her: "It’s weird, huh ? C&rsquo ;it's weird how we are made. I have the impression that she hears me, she’s louder than me."

Marc Lavoine himself confided that certain everyday gestures almost always reminded him of his mother. Like the shower: "At our house, there was a shower when I was little, and now I see it. I think of her, of my father too…"

And add: "And then, every time I'm in front of my mirror, she puts on hairspray in the morning, I look at her put on her hairspray and I found her very elegant, very pretty. So, this comes to me almost every day. I miss her a lot.

The singer will make his comeback on stage in June with his new single "Could I say again I love you… ?", who himself announces a next album which will be released at the end of the year 2024.
