As rumors swirl about Zenglen’s co-vocalist Frerot potentially joining Tabou Combo, the band’s maestro and leader, Richie, has finally spoken out. With Frerot’s future in Zenglen uncertain, fans and industry insiders alike have been eager to hear Richie’s take on the situation.
In a recent statement, Richie made it clear that his focus is on the band as a whole, emphasizing the importance of unity and dedication to the group’s success.
“I’m following the situation,” Richie said. “All I can tell you is that I am the type of guy that invests in a group or people that think in terms of the group Zenglen. If someone is thinking about ‘self’ and not the group, I think it’s in my best interest, as the composer and leader of the group, to invest more in the people who are committed to the group.”
Richie also addressed the band’s relationship with Frerot directly, stating, “All I can say is that Zenglen has done its job in terms of Frerot. We are not in the wrong, as we have done nothing against him. I spoke to Frerot and told him to do what he feels is best for him. The only thing I have to add is one word: conscience.”
Richie’s comments suggest that while Zenglen remains committed to its members, the priority will always be the group’s best interests. Whether Frerot stays or moves on, Richie appears focused on maintaining the unity and future success of Zenglen.
For now, fans will have to wait and see how the situation unfolds and whether Frerot will continue with Zenglen or take the leap to Tabou Combo.
