In 2014, France was introduced to the duo Fréro Delavega on the popular television show “The Voice”. Although the duo, consisting of Jérémy Frérot and Flo Delavega , did not win the competition on TF1 , the media exposure allowed them to achieve remarkable success within a few months. This momentum resulted in a series of hits and the release of two albums. However, the group surprised everyone when they announced their imminent separation just a month after releasing their new single, “À l’équilibre”, on December 18, 2016. While they reassured fans that a last tour would take place, effective separation was slated for June 2017. What led to this decision from the two artists?
Jérémy Frérot felt his partner was “distant” and “ill”
The former partner of Laure Manaudou provided some insight during an interview with Nathalie Levy on June 9, 2025 . Reflecting on the moment Flo expressed his desire to stop, Jérémy recalled: “I find myself in Peru with Flo in a tuk-tuk. Throughout the trip, I sensed he was very unwell. He felt distant and ill. And in that tuk-tuk, he announces that we won’t be doing a third album and that he wishes to stop because he is tired. It’s too much for him and he needs to do something else to feel happy.”
Upon returning to France with this news, which disrupted a planned 20-date tour , Jérémy admitted: “When you announce a group’s split before a tour, you know each date will be unique.” He struggled to accept this decision initially.
A reunion of the duo is a possibility
The 35-year-old singer reflected on his feelings of guilt, expressing sorrow for not recognizing his partner’s struggles. “At the same time, I felt a sense of confusion. I couldn’t understand why; it felt like it was my fault,” he stated. He vividly recalled: ” Every date became a struggle. Each was a tear from the heart. We would start our concerts looking into each other’s eyes, silently acknowledging that it was the last time.”
Despite their separation, Jérémy confirmed that there were no hard feelings between himself and Flo. He continues to stay in touch with his former partner. ” We never had a fight. Never, ever. I only felt remorse because I couldn’t comprehend what was happening, and I needed to understand it myself,” he shared. Jérémy emphasized that it was not solely Flo’s words that opened his eyes, but his own realization, fostered through his first solo album. Furthermore, he did not rule out the possibility of a duo reunion one day: ” It could absolutely happen. But whether we will manage it is another question, although there’s a desire there.”
Since their split, both artists have pursued their own musical paths . Jérémy has released multiple solo albums, garnering critical and commercial success. On the other hand, Flo has also shifted his focus, exploring different genres and collaborations. Fans often wonder if the charisma and musical chemistry that defined Fréro Delavega will prevail once again. The anticipation for a potential reunion reflects the longing their audience has for their unique sound and synergy.
As these two talented artists navigate their individual careers, the ongoing speculation about a reconciliation continues to fuel excitement among fans. The legacy of Fréro Delavega remains strong, reminding everyone of their initial rise to fame and their compelling connection. Jérémy and Flo have crafted an impressive body of work that spans various emotions—joy, sorrow, and nostalgia.
Both singers moved on to new projects, but every time they perform their classic hits, it evokes a wave of nostalgia not just among their fans, but within themselves as well. Their journey emphasizes the complex relationship between artistic partnerships and personal well-being, showcasing how sometimes what’s best for one’s mental health may require difficult choices.
As Jérémy hinted, the door for a reunion remains ajar. Perhaps in the coming years, the Fréro Delavega fans may witness a new chapter in their enchanting tale—a story of friendship, creativity, and the timeless allure of music that transcends time.
