Garou, an absent dad
A magnificent declaration of love to his two parents who never stopped pushing their son to do what he always loved. A fusional relationship that he would have liked to have also with his daughter Emeline. But Garou knows it: he was a “absent dad (…) I find it difficult to see her grow up. I see her as if she were still seven years old. We have so many things to tell each other that we tell each other the depths of life and that creates a relationship that has nothing to do with routine. […] When we meet up with my daughter, we drive two hours and then blah-blah-blah. She tells me too much sometimes! I don’t want to know everything!”, he confided in European 1 April 10.
