She was contacted by RTL to react to the mention of his name in the list RollingStone of the 200 greatest singers of all time, and Françoise Hardy took the opportunity to give health news to her worried fans… If she admits that she doesn’t feel “not good“, and that the repeated radiotherapies she had to undergo to treat her pharyngeal cancer caused her incurable problems in her mouth, throat, nose, ears, eyes and scalp, Françoise Hardy still manages to be moved by beautiful things.
“I prefer when Thomas sings his own songs“
She, who will be 79 on January 17, says she was “very moved” by the tour that his son, Thomas, did with his dad, Jacques Dutronc, which has just ended. In addition to this series of concerts, the two men in his life have also recorded a studio album in which Thomas Dutronc resumes “To life, to love“, a song from the repertoire of Jacques Dutronc which is particularly dear to Françoise Hardy…

Françoise Hardy who of course listened to the opus says that her son “was obliged to sing A la vie à l’amour because the rhythm recorded without Jacques had used its original tonality, which no longer corresponded to it”. The fact remains that she “prefers when Thomas sings his own songs, some of which touch her deeply, like Sesame, Viens dans mon île, I’m not from here, Alone, alone, alone, etc.”
A polite way of saying that she didn’t like Thomas Dutronc’s cover? In September 2020, received on the set of “The info of the real, the mag”, the “son of” had revealed about his mom that she was sometimes “miner”, when it came to his job. And explain: “When she doesn’t like something she says it but sometimes with very crude words!”
“He composed wonderful songs that we don’t hear enough”
Since more diplomatic, it seems, Françoise Hardy assured this January 4, in any case, that she was very proud of her boy. And to conclude: “He recorded, often wrote and composed wonderful songs that we don’t hear enough”.
