The full statement is available here, with an additional excerpt from Jacques Bon stating: "When I look proudly back at what we have achieved, I am also confident for the future chapters of my musical life (new releases, a new booking agent and some exciting new projects to come). And as you can imagine , I am looking forward a lot to keep on sharing music with you."
