On Instagram, Jean-François Pauzé shared his pain at losing his sidekick Karl Tremblay, but his luck to have been his friend and to have held his hand until his last breath.
“I had the chance to meet an exceptional man,” writes Jean-François Pauzé. The privilege of having been your friend and holding your hand until your last breath. I am very sad today but I am happy to know that your suffering is a thing of the past. I love you big guy. »
On social networks, artists continued to express their tributes to Karl Tremblay on Thursday.
The Les Trois Accords group published a photo taken in August at the Poutine Festival in Drummondville. In the center, Karl Tremblay embraces the singer of Trois Accords, Simon Proulx, surrounded by artisans and volunteers.
“To Karl, our friend. It’s hard to believe that you won’t be there anymore to make the crowds sing and laugh with us. Thank you for your generosity, your talent, your strength, your kindness and your friendship,” write the members of the Trois Accords.
Singer-songwriter Catherine Durand, who accompanied the Cowboys Fringants on tour, broadcast a video of Karl Tremblay, on stage, performing Les Etoiles Filantes. “Larger than life,” she simply wrote.
Mara Tremblay reshared the video, thanking Karl “for all the love shared.” “We had dinner together just three weeks ago,” she wrote on Facebook. You wanted to hear new songs from me, I didn’t have time to write them before you left, but I promise, you’ll hear them from where you are. »
The rapper Koriass, for his part, recounted the genesis of Supernova, the musical piece that he built on the song The Shooting Stars. He recounted the immediate enthusiasm of the members of the group towards his idea and this “privilege” of having been able to share the stage with Karl Tremblay.
The words of the Shooting Stars now take on their full meaning for Koriass. “You will have made a brief but very significant passage in mine, Karl,” he wrote to the deceased musician. You gave me the gas I needed to try to enter the hearts of the world with my music just as you entered the hearts of Quebec as a whole, mine included. »
