Photo of Rory with Albert Warin and his daughter Aurore along with Jean-Nöel Coghe at a restaurant after Rory's show at L'Aéronef in Lille, France. Albert organized many concerts in Lille. Photo courtesy of Jean-Nöel Coghe"the end of October 1994, Rory is in Lille. Because I am working, I cannot be at the concert. I am coming for the last three songs. Albert Warin is with me. Rory is delivering a killer punch. His jaws clenched, he sends out his notes in bursts, tortured, filled with passion. His long hair is dripping. He is three metres from me. I’m at his side, but he can’t see me. Yet I feel carried towards him; it seems like I am as one with him. I notice that whatever he is playing at that moment completely matches what I had expected. Then it is over. I will never see him on stage again.We meet backstage. He sees me and takes me into his arms and hugs me. For a long time. He has never done that before. He offers me a drink. Warin is there. With his wife, Simone. And Aurora, their daughter, whom Rory knew almost when she was a baby in Dourges." –Jean-Nöel Coghe
