The group was supposed to perform this July 11, on the main stage of the festival, but for reasons related to the treatment of Karl Tremblay, suffering from cancer, they had to turn back.
“We would have really liked to be with you tonight. Unfortunately, that’s not possible. We hope, from the bottom of our hearts, to be able to recover, ”signed Marie-Annick Lépine, on behalf of the group.
“We did shows with the gastro [en laissant une chaudière sur le bord de la scène pour aller vomir entre deux chansons]we have done shows with more than 39.9 fever […]. Each time one of the group members was in bad shape, the others gave more. So that our show is always the best possible. We are so blessed to have you with us.”
Fans immediately rushed to show their love for the band’s lead singer in the comments.
“If we want him to be a cowboy who is dashing for a long time, we have to take care of him,” commented a user. “Karl’s health comes first and no one who loves the Cowboys will argue otherwise,” another fan wrote.

It is the members of Les Trois Accords, who were on the Plains yesterday, who will take the place of the Cowboys Fringants at the Festirame d’Alma, a gesture that the group wanted to highlight.
“Thank you to our longtime friends, Les Trois Accords, for replacing us.”
The Cowboys Fringants will return to the stage on July 13, on the Plains of Abraham, as part of the Festival d’été de Québec.
