He wavered, but Kendji Girac regained his footing with the help of his loved ones and his fans. On April 22, he turned a Colt .45 on himself inside a caravan where his wife and their daughter were. France discovered his injuries and his private wounds. However, on June 26, he reassured his audience on Instagram, saying he would live up to his second chance. "I can’t wait to come back and do what I love most, sing with my guitar, share all this love."
On July 3, Kendji beat the curse of 27, the age at which Jim Morrison and Amy Winehouse died. By turning 28, he warded off fate after being saved just in time by the doctors in Pessac. Less than three months later, he proudly posed with Mamo, the owner of the Michelangelo restaurant, a landmark in Antibes.
After several weeks of recovery in the Paris region, Kendji was finally able to enjoy a family vacation. He celebrated his birthday with his loved ones, expressing renewed determination. Aware of the seriousness of what he had done, he listened to the doctors and promised to change. His priority now is to get better for his family, especially for his daughter Eva Alba and his partner Soraya.
Since leaving the hospital, Kendji has addressed his community via Instagram, offering his apologies and expressing his determination to bounce back. "You can always bounce back; nothing in life is set in stone," he said, supported by Eva Longoria. His goal is clear: to get back on stage and resume his music career. At the end of June, the doctors gave him the green light, and he launched into a daily fitness program to prepare for his return.
Kendji is recording a new single due out in early September, and he is determined to come back stronger. He wants to show a new side of himself, more human and moving, while promising not to fly too close to the sun again. He is writing his future with a capital A for love.
