Some end the week in style. Others will have a little more trouble. At a time when meetings with fans are resuming and concerts are in full swing, thanks in particular to the great return of festivals all over France, some French-speaking artists are struggling.

We are all thinking of you, your family and your family at heart, Universal Belgium.“Same sadness on the side of Louane and her darling and musician Florian Rossi.
The lovebirds used to rub shoulders with Gilbert Lederman. Learning of his sudden disappearance therefore came as a shock to the parents of little Esme. Each in their own way, Louane and Florian Rossi paid tribute to him on social networks. The singer multiplied the black and broken heart emojis, her companion was content with two joined hands, mimicking the gesture of a prayer. Kendji also had a thought for him: “Thank you for everything Gilbert. We will miss you !“A single being is missing…
