After several months away from the spotlight, building his cabin, the singer and composer made his first public appearance, this Thursday, May 28, in the stands of the tennis tournament, alongside his wife Catherine Robert. He is now preparing his big musical comeback.
The sun shone on Roland-Garros this Thursday, May 28, but in the stands of Court Philippe-Chatrier, it was especially the return of Vianney that caught the attention. After a year spent away from the spotlight, the singer made his first public appearance alongside his wife, cellist Catherine Robert. A discreet but symbolic return for the artist, who had chosen to move away from the media tumult in order to find calm, inspiration and a certain form of freedom.

In recent months, Vianney had voluntarily withdrawn. Tired of the frantic pace of fame, the singer confided his need for silence and solitude. “These next few months I plan to be more alone, more in silence, a little further away too,” he explained to his subscribers. The artist then moved to the forest to lead a simpler life, notably devoting himself to building a cabin. An atypical break for someone who is among the most popular singers of his generation. Far from the stages and television sets, Vianney seemed to be looking for a new personal and artistic balance.

Catherine Robert, renowned cellist and mother of little Edgar, has shared the singer’s life for several years. This public appearance also marks a gradual return to a more exposed life after months of withdrawal.
