This article has a number of issues, in addition to the already-flagged need for RS references.
It is also replete with overly laudatory language. That, coupled with the fact that it has been edited till now almost entirely by two editors, raises the spectre of it perhaps being used to present an image of the subject that is not arm's-length and NPOV.
Among the phrases now in the article that fall into this category are:
"With his powerful "velvet" voice combined with a rare charisma and stage presence, Daniel Lavoie is one of Canada's most highly respected francophone singer-songwriters[1] and one of the best-known singers of the Francophone world today."
"He also enjoys popularity in Eastern and Central Europe (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland) and has fans in the Middle East, Latin America and South-East Asia."
"One of the songs from this albums, "J'ai quitté mon île" became especially popular in France and also in Portugal and Brazil.[4] This song would become one of Lavoie's iconic pieces."
"His popularity as a live performer was growing. In 1980 he received his first Félix Award for the best male singer of the year. Many more were to follow."
"The year 1984 was remarkable in Daniel Lavoie's career as it brought him unprecedented success with the release of his album Tension Attention ... One of the songs from this album, "Ils s'aiment" became wildly popular
"The musical became a sensation."
"The rare stage performances of Douze homme rapaillés thrilled the audiences and the critics alike."
"These concerts delighted crowds in Kiev, Moscow, Saint-Petersburg, Paris[23] and Beirut."
These examples, and other similar language in the article, often wholly unreferenced, reeks of an effort to promote the subject of the article that is not appropriate on wikipedia. I would urge that this and the presence of material that is not referenced by RS refs be addressed, or I expect I will address it. Epeefleche ( talk) 00:58, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Copying from User talk:Epeefleche (a discussion started there on request by Epeefleche): Hello User:Epeefleche. Could you please explain why you removed the "Awards" section from article Daniel Lavoie as unreferenced when the awards are referenced in the text of the article? Thank you in advance for your response. Paroles2000 ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 20:36, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
@ Paroles2000:@ Epeefleche: I'm a regular volunteer at WP:3O and am responding to the request filed there. Checking both the article history and the above really lengthy discussion, I not quite sure what the dispute is really still about and whether some issues are solved/stale. Would both of you kindly summarise the latest issue (in a really short way) with edit links or policy & guidelines for me so that I may respond? Sincerely, Ugog Nizdast ( talk) 17:37, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
