It’s party ! This Monday, June 26, 2023, Pierre Garand, dit Garou, celebrates his 51st candle. For the occasion, his closest friends took to their social networks to wish him a happy birthday. Among them: Michèle Laroque. The 63-year-old actress, director, producer, screenwriter, comedian and singer took to her Instagram account to share a video of herself with her faithful sidekick Liane Foly.
Together, the two women face the interpreter of Beautiful. Dressed in black, they go all out on the title Lady Marmelade by Christina Aguilera, P! nk, Lil’ Kim and Mýa. A highlight of the documentary Alone with Gaou in which the artist looks back on the dazzling evolution of his career. A career that would never have taken such a turn without meeting René Angélil.

A great career in music
“Céline Dion came to see the musical ‘Notre Dame de Paris’ in which I played in 1998. And she spoke to René about me, telling him that it would be good if we worked together. Then, I remember the first handshake, still in Paris. It was during a television program devoted to Celine. I was singing a duet there with Karen Mulder. At that moment, shaking her hand, I felt that René gave off something great, authentic. I knew afterwards that it was at this moment that he said to himself, we are going to work together”, he confided to the Parisian a few years earlier.
And to continue: “He upset, transformed my career. In Canada, he was the boss. His view of our common passion for music was very important. In a meeting, for example, where everyone was talking loudly, he intervened with his voice calm and calm (he imitates him): ‘Hey guys, stop it, the important thing is how the public will feel’. He always made his decisions with the public in mind.” Touching confidences from the one who worked eight years alongside the artistic agent.
