Restons amis - Hommage à Grégory Lemarchal

Description

“Restons amis” is the moving story of thirteen Star Academy 4 contestants who reunite sixteen years after their TV breakthrough to pay tribute to their friend who was taken too soon. They wanted and needed to come together for the time of an unreleased album, sold in support of the Grégory Lemarchal association. 2004: the 4th season of Star Academy begins on TF1. 18 contestants. Only one will remain. No doubt for his fellow contestants: the one who has just sung will win this fourth edition - in front of nearly 10 million viewers. Grégory triumphs, Grégory becomes a star before his friends’ eyes. His career is meteoric. On April 30, 2007, Grégory passes away, taken by cystic fibrosis. This is the first time in France that contestants from the same show have come together to record an album nearly 20 years later. This project, released in partnership with the Grégory Lemarchal association, marks the media return of one of the most iconic seasons of Star Ac. Also and above all because no one has forgotten Grégory Lemarchal. Their names are Francesca, Hoda, Karima, Radia, Tina, Sandy, Lucie, Mathieu, Sofiane, Gauthier, Enrique, John, Morgan... Thirteen contestants who left a lasting impression on viewers, thirteen contestants people are still talking to this day, sixteen years later, about their TV adventure.
