If the mood was festive and humorous on the set of the NRJ Music Awards, it changed radically when a trembling Renaud appeared. The state of health of the singer worries more than ever.
It’s been 20 years since Renaud received the only NJR Music Award of his career for “Manhattan Kabul“, a tube that he interpreted feverishly with his accomplice Axelle Red. This Friday, November 18, the singer had again flown to Cannes where he was expected by Camille Combal, who had replaced the master of ceremonies Nikos Aliagas, injured on the Star Academy set. renaud had given no sign of life for many months. Also, fans were looking forward to seeing him back on stage. Arriving on the set of the NRJ Music Awards, joy gave way to concern. This is a trembling Renaud who appeared in front of the cameras, while Louane took over an extract from his hit “Winner Mistral“. Attention that visibly moved the star.”Thank you very much, thank you from the bottom of my heart, it means a lot to me“, said Renaud as he collected his precious statuette. “Who would have said in 1968 that I would thank a CEO?“, he could not help but launch mockingly before leaving the stage.
