:: Garou has the time of his life

“Everything in my life is done at a frantic pace”. Even though he occasionally appeared in the media during 2005, his workload was nonetheless very busy. First, he goes into the studio to record the duet Tu es comme ça with Marilou, who had already performed for him as an opening act at the end of his Reviens tour. The single will reach the Top 10 upon its release.

Having spent 10 months on the road performing on the Reviens tour, Garou spent most of the next year in Quebec. Away from his friends for so long, they want to spend time with him and he eagerly does so.

Notably, he participated in the Festival Juste pour rire in July, sharing the stage with Franck Dubosc for a Rat Pack skit paying homage to Frank Sinatra, one of his idols. Garou, deeply affected by the suffering of the victims of the Katrina hurricane, accepts Francis Cabrel’s invitation and performs in the Louisiana Concert in December, a charity event organized to help the victims. As generous as always, the singer spends some of his Christmas Holidays with his family but also his fans while travelling across the province performing in the famous Tournée des Fêtes with rocker friend Éric Lapointe. Finally, a select few had the chance to see him perform in such small and cosy venues as Bourbon Street and the Medley in Montreal. Garou took pleasure in returning to his roots while performing in bars where he, once upon a time and for a number of years, started his career. Garou thus took his time! First, to take a break, but also to find the much needed inspiration for his new album…
