Lara Fabian closer and closer to Florent Pagny
Lara Fabian took advantage of this exchange to talk about another sick artist, Florent Pagnywho is suffering from lung cancer. “When I found out that another of my collaborators was sick recently, I haven’t stopped writing to him since. And every week I send a note to this great gentleman. I write to him all the time“, she said. The singer also confessed that she had difficulty expressing her feelings about the situation the artists find themselves in: “I find that, sometimes, the modesty of our professions and the fact that we only met in places where there is an issue, an audience, a mask to wear means that we don’t dare to say with all the simplicity of the world, the love we have for someone. Especially when he’s in trouble.“
