I send him, a few weeks later, a first song and the sequel will certainly see the light of day on the boards…”, he indicated on Instagram and Facebook.
In the same message, he describes the friendship that now unites him with Marie Laberge as a “gift of life”. “Our correspondence and our moments shared together inspire me enormously in this creation and I can’t wait to tell you more! “, he added.
