In 2023, Renaud made his big return to the stage with “In my ropes“. At 71 years old, the singer of “Mistral Gagnant”, released this new album on December 1, 2023, “In my ropes”after starting a tour of the same name, in complete privacy, accompanied on the piano by his friend Alain Lanty and a set of stringed instruments.
“Papu in Pleyel. See you all”
Currently on his way to France for his concerts, he has set down his bags at the Salle Pleyel for 2 dates, on December 20 and 21, 2023. Parisians will be able to see him or have already seen him also at La Scala, at the Folies Bergère, at the Casino de Paris and the Olympia. A hell of a schedule. And her daughter, Lolita Séchan, couldn’t be more proud.
This December 22, 2023, the comic book creator shared a story on her Instagram account “Papu in Pleyel. See you all”. And if she promotes her father, it’s because she was also able to count on him, a few days ago, when her comic strip “The Mists of Sapa“, initially released in 2016, was re-released with 20 more pages in bookstores.
On November 17, 2023, Lolita Séchan then shared two previously unpublished photos of her father, in a red teddy, and leafing through his work, commenting: “Because, anyway. I hired him very expensively to do my advertising. (Joke)“. A complicity which is enough to move lifelong fans of the man nicknamed the Phoenix.
“I got through it three years ago already, I’m very happy”
