Apology

An eighteen-year-old student from Azerbaijan has apologized for the leak of Claude’s C’est La Vie. The teenager released the song via social media a day before the official release.

Record company Cloud9 has been in contact with the student. “He admitted that he was wrong. We have accepted his apology.” The man obtained the song via a closed group on Telegram. “We are still investigating how the song ended up there,” says the spokesperson for Cloud9.

The company is not pressing charges against the student. Other sources report that the boy has received death threats via social media.

Claude officially presented the song with which he represents the Netherlands at the Eurovision Song Contest to the press and the public on Thursday afternoon. The song had already leaked via X a day earlier. Claude told nu.nl that he was disappointed that the song had been leaked. “It sucks, but there are stupider things, c’est la vie.” Source: nu.nl
