“It took my mind”
Between his tubes like Dad just married the maid, his collaborations with Alain Chamfort and Claude François, without forgetting his show at the Olympia with Tom Jones or his Grand Prix from the Académie Charles-Cros won in 1970 for his first album, Dani enjoyed unprecedented success.
But despite this, she encountered great financial difficulties following the death of her husband, as she explained in the columns of the JDD in 2020.”I have no more money” she had declared, before relativizing in the process. “It’s more comfortable! When I had it, it bothered me. The houses, the papers… When my husband died, I decided not to encumber myself rather than to black out the memories we had shared. That’s how we move on, we make friends with grief. Now my life is my bag. I go where I want”, she had explained.
Dani then leaves behind her modest fortune, her magnificent career but also her son Julien, born in 1969 from her union with the photographer Benjamin Auger (deceased in 2002), as well as Emmanuel, the eldest son of her ex-boyfriend whom she is not the mother, even if it is just like. “He was only four months old. I raised him as my son, and for him to stay with me, I needed there to be a sealed bond between us. So we had to have another child with Benjamin.” had she ever said about him.
