«You take»
(... end)

I believe that the most wonderful period of all this was a solo tour of Gregory in May and June 2006. It is fully compatible with the nature of his career - a short, intense, marked by great joy and great excitement. He had been waiting for this meeting with his audience, these men and women who paid the money to listen to it to give yourself the time of pure happiness to concern hall. Happiness is ... He was ready to give it to such an extent that he even managed to push into the background physical pain of his body. But this was not always so easy to do. Unlike tour Star Ak, here he was on stage alone, and he could not afford to take a breather, while others act. Besides - it used to be very well analyzed Jasmine Roy - all without exception Gregory songs are technically very difficult to execute. The only moment of "rest" for the whole program - it's a cover Nos fiançailles Nilda Fernandez. The rest of the time needed to give all the best to its fullest. Since Gregory is very well felt, in any form is at the moment, and the condition of his vocal cords, in the days of fatigue, he could quickly change the tone a bit, and immediately the focus shifted from the power of emotion and intensity - so he less peril. Conversely, in those days, when he felt well, he was ready to get the moon from the sky and to rise in the score is even higher than planned. He himself sometimes did not understand how he did it. We sometimes talked to him about it.
- I do not know how I get to sing, Mama. I think that it is not only my voice - I'm going into another dimension and looking for additional forces there.
On stage, he shines so that I never had it so did not see. It absorbs all the cells this air is filled with adrenaline and love, hugging a happy child's eyes, these halls, where the outstretched hands of the spectators thrilled his name. He absorbed, absorbed and absorbed all this energy - as a balm for his wounds ... Once during a concert from the stage he read aloud a poster which I saw in the hall - it prepared the fans: "On the four sides of France, we have come to say how we love you." He was more than just touched by this gesture.
May 13 2006, he celebrated his twenty-third birthday on the stage of the Palace of Congresses in the city of Aix-les-Bains, this is just a few miles from our house. And so after the show we took all the musicians to themselves, to mark the event.
This tour, these are moments when he climbed onto the stage and completely laid bare soul to the audience, were for him as the most wonderful pharyngeal oxygen. Song Tu prends - «You take," which he wrote as a times this year, says namely the sensation of freedom and abundance, which was filled with it every time he stepped on the stage.

A behind the scenes during the musical losses, which gave him about 30 seconds of the time, he constantly had to continue the struggle with cystic fibrosis. As soon as he left the scene, at first glance, his father knew well he was feeling or not. Then, automatic movement, Gregory took a bottle of water, drank a lot, took a towel to wipe the sweat and avoid the common cold blowing his nose, cleared his throat and tried to release the phlegm that filled his bronchi. Kinesitherapist always found it right behind the curtain in case he needed his urgent attention. Gregory sat down, lowered his head, concentrating, then rises in one leap, again took the microphone and was returning on the scene. Every second he was painted as on music paper. One evening my father forgot to take it for paper handkerchiefs, so Greg drilled his such a look! At these moments, it was not time for jokes.
Some dates we had to cancel because he was unable to speak. He did better than all know your limits. But in any case, we and the doctor were always too close and make sure that it is not subjected himself to danger. In the day of the third concert at the Olympia on May 31 he was so exhausted that we did not know whether he can sing. Stephen, an expert on etiopatii who advised Greg, made a special trip to help him.
Olympia is full to bursting. Greg's so proud, was so excited when I saw his name written on the facade of the famous glowing red letters! But at the moment it no longer was a question of pride. Thierry Syuk, producer of the tour, which has always listened to the opinions and needs of Gregory, approached him and said:
- Greg, you either eat or not eat, but now you must make a choice. You can now fine to go on stage to apologize, and we cancel concert.
Gregory responded, I think, like any artist. This decision was for him the worst, and it would be hard to survive this.
- Well, if you do not want, then there another option - you can start with a plan A, that is, with a list of your most "light" songs. If it does not pass, then you are in any way stop the concert. If you pass, and if you want to continue, then we will prepare you to plan B - continued the show with all the other songs.
- OK, let's do it!
I sat в свое кресло в зале в самый последний момент и умирала от страха. Но вроде бы у него был вид человека, который держится. После своего первого выхода со сцены он sat on a stool, drank some water. All were silent and waited for the verdict. He looked up at the Thierry and his father:
- Plan B!

I have attended more than half of the concert, Gregory, but I am sure that Pierre is not all told me about this period so as not to disturb me too much. One only he knew the true face of our son after the applause after a closed door in the dressing room. They spent hours there, only two of us. Sometimes Pierre forcibly stopped him, when Greg sought out to fans to sign autographs. He had to undergo a session of treatment - immediately following the concert, then eat, then relax and recharge for tomorrow. And even when I was there, I'm still used to leave them alone, at least half an hour.
Although cystic fibrosis, which did not gave him no rest, when reality becomes main dream of his life, Gregory was still the happiest of all artists. And one could happen that in this moment, before the concert in Marseille, so dear to his heart the city, happened to him an acute attack of appendicitis. I so far it seems that it was the greatest injustice. But when fate takes up arms against you, then her anger is terrible.
Appendicitis! Gregory urgently hospitalized the hospital Foch in Suresnes. We are all shocked and horrified. And he immediately took himself in hand. First he asked the surgeon how long he will lie in the hospital without any movements.
- A minimum of six days? Okay, then let us not lose time. And how many days I was again able to go on stage?
This question, of course, laugh physician - what more scene? But Gregory was not joking. They agreed that they would return to this conversation six days after surgery. It was quite successful. Greg only had to forcefully push the seam when he coughed, so he is not sold. A stop to cough he could not. But I'm not very worried. That is, yes, of course, I'm always worried about my son, but some appendicitis could not frighten us.
But Thierry Syuk worried - he had to know whether to cancel all the latest tour dates. His friend, the surgeon confirmed that the man can not be so quick to return to the stage after abdominal surgery. But for Greg he still put off a final decision until the last moment.
As it was negotiated, Greg and his surgeon again brought the conversation in six days.
- The seam in your order, everything is going well. You only need to decide yourself.
- Very well: then tomorrow evening I am speaking in Brussels, the day after tomorrow you with all the family are invited to my concert at the Olympia!
- Okay. But please, do not overdo it. And most importantly - strong seam tie a bandage around his waist.
According to Pierre, a concert in Brussels was magical and was in an absolutely crazy environment. Only after the end of Greg's literally twisted in half. And his famous joint swelled and grew three times - it seemed that he now gets going. The next day, he repeated it at its fourth concert in Olympia. After the concert, the surgeon came to congratulate him in the dressing room. He was delighted. But I do not know whether he about the concert or the demonstration of iron Will my son. Personally I have always admired and that, and another: and the artist, and the lessons of courage, which he gave me. This latest Olympia was also the first and only concert, which Pierre was able to see the whole of the hall. He had never before allowed himself to leave her baby at least for a couple of minutes in someone else's hands, to myself to sit down, relax and also enjoy the joyful moments of this unforgettable experience.
tour ended two days later at Metz, in Lorraine - Our family is originally just there. It was a wonderful moment, however, things could get grim. When the bus drove Gregory into a hotel, he stuck his head a sunroof to greet all. It was followed by the operator with a camera who was filming the video for the Making of a future DVD. They were back to the direction of movement. Gregory had come down to sit down, and the operator did not have time for him to follow, and the head of this poor guy's strongest fashion hit the metal beam. Under the influence of impact it has fallen - thank God, inside the bus - but everywhere squirt blood, and Gregory was very worried for him, and felt guilty. As a result, our entire company were in the waiting room the ambulance, but the worst was behind us, and the episode ended happily ...
It is from these the last three concerts on the teeth pulled out at the fate that would nail it to the bed, Gregory was the most fun. And now he had only one desire - to repeat it all again.
