He did pay his dues (had he been tried in France he would probably have got a shorter sentence). I don't for a moment think that he has forgotten what he has done. I don't have a problem with him resuming his activities. He happened to be a singer, and a singer is a public person. It's not like he is using his fame from killing Marie Trintignant to suddenly release a record.
No, I don't have a problem. But I expect he'll face questions and I would hope that he replies humbly, with a message that one should stop one's own violence from the start because even a "mundane" blow can become tragedy.

And I'm not so sure he'd have got a shorter sentence in France. I have the (maybe wrong) impressions that Central and Eastern Europe doesn't have harsh penalties (like life without parole, or even life terms) for murders and the kind. I might be wrong on that, though. Un roi sans divertissement est un homme plein de misères
Now, he doesn't need to speak about the crime proper to deliver a message of rehabilitation, of no-one being above nasty impulses, of the need to adress your weaknesses lest they take control of you... Besides, I doubt he'd be sent back for saying something like "not a day passes when I am not terribly sorry", or "there is no greater horror that a man can do than hurting someone who trusts him fully". The problem with Rouillan was that, while not allowed to speak about it, he very strongly hinted that he'd happily do it again (having said that, I believe that he should be allowed to say it -but then he should also respect the terms of his parole). Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need, but not every man's greed. Gandhi
