It is on Facebook that And announced his sad decision with a broken heart:
«Hello everyone. Usually it is a great joy to announce the Show du Refuge. Today is harder. Much harder. My heart is in pieces, but following thirty-two years of hard work but also of great musical pleasure, I find myself tired, running out of ideas. I have been doubting for several years and postponing my decision…. which is made now. It’s time to make way for others, younger, crazier… as our Robert national.
After the release of the 2022 show, I will no longer be at the helm of the show and will no longer be a spokesperson for the Refuge des jeunes.
But the 32nd Show du Refuge will take place this year on October 13 at Tohu and will be broadcast on Radio-Canada in December with our guests:
Ginette Reno
Guylaine Tanguay
Yama
Samian
Marie-Nicole Lemieux
And of course, those who were there at the first show, my old voice friends:
Isabelle Boulay
Lulu Hughes and
Light Dufault.
Many thanks to my former producer Guy Latraverse. Without him, the show would probably be dead following the first two years. Thanks also to the Fantastic France Beaudoin and her team, I’m going to be bored. A huge thank you also to @Radio-Canada who trusted us for 30 years. This is absolutely unprecedented and thanks especially to you. Without you, this show would never have existed.
Speaking of you, we need you once more for our ti-guys this year. We want to see you at Tohu.
Thank you so much.
Friendships,
And»
