For the eleventh season of The Voice launched this Saturday, February 12, 2022, the producers have seen things big. To renew themselves, they introduced a fifth coach in the person of Nolwenn Leroy. The singer will have the mission to recruit four Talents in her team, which will not have succeeded in convincing her comrades Vianney, Amel Bent, Marc Lavoine and Florent Pagny during the blind auditions. Nolwenn Leroy will then compete in the Battles and the two winners of this event will then designate a new coach for the rest of the adventure. Its role will therefore stop there.
At least, that’s what it is for the agreed time because it is possible to wonder if the pretty brunette will not be called to replace Florent Pagny for the semi-final and the final live expected in May. The latter may indeed not be able to keep his commitments, he who is suffering from inoperable lung cancer and who has started chemotherapy sessions.
A possibility that Nolwenn Leroy does not prefer to think about, however. “No one can or would take Florent’s place. For me, he is the perfect coach. He takes no detours. He says what’s on his mind and it works because it’s expressed sincerely.“, she admitted to him during an interview for TV Star, to be published on Monday 14 February. Anyway, Nolwenn Leroy will be present for the final of The Voicehoping to support one of his four Talents there.
Florent Pagny does not prefer to project himself for the moment on the rest of the events either. During his appearance on TF1’s 8 p.m. news to give news on his state of health, the 60-year-old singer spoke of his uncertain future in The Voice. “In May, I don’t know… I still have six months of chemo so I don’t know how I’ll end up. For the moment, the premiere is going well, but anything can happen too. Maybe in May, I’m impeccable, maybe I’m tired and then here we go, we’ll organize“, he addressed to the journalist Gilles Bouleau.
