This title surprise on the Covid-19, it was his friend Thierry Geoffroy, who has written and composed. “It’s funny, non ? We did this in ten days. Renaud has written this text to the output of the confinement has been harsh. Forbidden to leave, for him, it is hard. He is well annoyed at the Isle, even if we saw each other when even paying attention. I composed the music, recorded the song with friends. Renaud wanted to swing it like that but he was told that it would be better with a visual. We got the movie clip to family, home and with Carole, a friend who plays in a dress of cow-boy in the video. My son also was there and as he is the director of production, he used his knowledge to mount images. All of this is the improv. And it was really fun,” says the Parisian.

In July last, in the columns of Paris, Renaud explained that this disk would be “twelve songs”. “There is a little humor. It’s going to be bitching more than one because there are a lot of big words. Children love big words. But it’s more an album about childhood than a children’s album,” he explained. On a new tour, it is not intended “for the moment”, to be contrasted Renaud. Going back on the road would it be too tiring for the artist ? The latter ensures, however, that it is better, after months of rumors about its state of health.
“It’s going very well, despite what’s being said in the tabloids, the press of the gutter. I do not have a STROKE, or liver cancer, or cirrhosis of the liver (…). I am in perfect health for a year, I no longer drink any drop of alcohol for 9 months. I am perfectly lucid and happy,” he explained to the microphone of RTL on Saturday, September 14th.

Renaud, a 50-year career of singer
That’s more than fifty years that Renaud is comfortably installed among the French artists the most popular. With a couple dozen albums released since 1968 and to nearly twenty million copies sold, it is also one of the most prolific artists. There is no doubt that his new album, “The kids and children first”, in stores on Friday 29 November, will be no exception. Since his younger years, his titles such as “Mistral ” winner”, “Morgane de toi”, “Lets concrete” or, more recently, “Still standing” through the ages. Despite a life of fighting his old demons, including those of alcohol, Renaud does not seem willing to pass the microphone. And in the tests, he has always been able to count on his fans and his family and friends, always at his side.
The women of the life of Renaud
The daughter of Renaud, Lolita, is omnipresent in the life of the singer. Born August 9, 1980 in Paris, it is the fruit of the marriage of the singer with Dominique Quilichini. Married to the singer Renan Luce, who created the music for several of the disc “kids and children first”, in 2009, she has a daughter, Heloise, was born on August 3, 2011. The couple separates in 2016. Writer, Lolita Séchan is illustrated through several books for children, such as “The ashes of mom” and scenarios of comics, including “The Mists of Sapa”. Well away from the singing career of his father. “I had a proposal to write songs, but this is not my thing. And especially, it refers to too many things personal. The BD, this is my domain, it belongs only to me. I’ve always taken drawing classes…”, it was explained it to France Soir in 2016. Lolita Séchan has always been close to his parents, especially his mother.
Dominique Quilichini is the first wife of Renaud. In the 70’s, the singer made his acquaintance, while she is married to the actor Gérard Lanvin. But for him, she will leave her husband. Renaud and Dominique Quilichini were married on 1 August 1980 and, eight days later, is born, Lolita Séchan, August 9. But a few years after their union, Renaud back in the alcohol and Dominique will leave him in 1999, after 25 years of relationship. But after all these years, the former couple has remained close through the trials. This is also the case of the second wife of Renaud.
Romane Serda has been a click in the life of the singer. The two artists met in 2000 at the Closerie des Lilas in the 14th arrondissement of Paris. Under his leadership, Renaud decides to treat his addiction to alcohol for a cure. It is the renaissance. In 2003, he moved with Romane Serda, whom he married on August 5, 2005 in the Drôme. Their love will be born the second child of Renaud Malone, born on July 14, 2006. But the torments of the singer reappeared and the couple divorced in 2011. In spite of everything, Romane Serda and Renaud remained very close. “We are no longer together, but we call each other every day… We support, we are there for each other, I take care of him… In fact, we are so loved, that we love each other yet,” confided she to Tele-Leisure.
Renaud faced with the death of his brother,
throughout his career, if Renaud can count on his family, he also had to go through difficult trials. Last January, Renaud loses his brother, Thierry, who died of massive STROKES at his home in paris. Writer, journalist and lyricist, he collaborated with many artists such as Julien Clerc, Daniel Lavoie, Elsa or his ex-sister-in-law, Romane Serda. He has also written twenty books, such as “Letters to my brother”, published in 2013 and sent to Renaud, for whom he was worried. “What to do ? Watch you sink arms crossed ? Unimaginable ! According to the slogan that you’d print it in The Morning, Paris in 1988 to encourage Uncle to represent : Renaud, lets not concrete !”, he wrote. His death in January 2019 was a brutal shock. “Renaud and David Séchan, his brothers, and his three daughters Olivia, Lou and Lila telling me to tell you with great sadness that Thierry Séchan died at the age of 69 years at his paris home,” wrote in a press release the lawyer Renaud.
