A strong relationship. Florent Pagny and Vianney have maintained a special bond of friendship since their first meeting. "Ever since he invited me to open for him in 2014 and took me under his wing, and we ended up on the jury of The Voice, we've had a very powerful bond. I will follow him blindly," Vianney said of his friend. Despite the recent media distance from Florent Pagny, who is suffering from lung cancer, the two friends continue to see each other and give each other news off the sets.

This friendship has also materialized in a musical duet in Vianney's latest album À 2 à 3 released this Friday, November 10th. Vianney has written eighteen tracks, all sung with an artist, from MC Solaar to Ben Mazué and Zazie. Among them, the song Un homme that he shares with Florent Pagny. "We recorded this song a little over a year ago," Vianney explained in an interview with the magazine Ciné télé revue, before adding that Florent Pagny was at the time: "in a tumultuous period with his illness.

And although his state of health was worrying, Florent Pagny did not hesitate in the face of the proposal of his sidekick from "The Voice". "He was immensely generous," he said. There's more to their relationship than just collaborating on a song. "We're still in touch. I saw him again two days ago. We sang for Patrick Fiori's Corsican evening," Vianney said. The singer also gave some news about the singer of The Bearing Walls. "He's fighting. He's doing very well so far," Vianney said.
Although weakened, Florent Pagny appeared at the surprise party organized by Nagui to celebrate Pascal Obispo's 30 years of career. While no one expected to see her, he appeared to sing Savoir aimer with the host of the event. Pascal Obispo had also said a few weeks ago on the set of "Quelle époque!" on France 2: "Without him, I would not be here today on this set. He's my friend for life."
