Jane Birkin is recovering from her stroke on August 29th. On the air RTL this December 8, the singer and actress of 74 years revealed not to have suffered and not to have kept the after-effects of this stroke. However, a shadow appears on the board lately: the artist has lost a very precious object! Charlotte Gainsbourg’s mom, Kate Barry (died in 2019, editor’s note) and Lou Doillon took advantage of her time on the radio to launch an appeal to all Parisians, since she lost her bag a week ago in which her notebook was located, in the Jardin du Luxembourg.
“My diary is made of fabric, like the potato bags. If anyone finds it, tell me! There are also a ton of prescriptions in it “, said the interpreter ofApocalypstick. And if this notebook is so dear in the eyes of the British artist, it is because it contains the lyrics of unpublished songs, which Jane Birkin wrote during her convalescence, for her but also for her friend Etienne Daho.
The grandmother of Marlowe (19), Ben (24), Alice (19) and Joe (10) gave herself a baby “pleasant break” after his stroke to recharge his batteries in the capital. “What a joy to know that we have three months free in our schedule!”, she exclaimed. And if the former companion of Serge Gainsbourg declared that she did not fear for her life, she however had a lot of trouble seeing those around her suffer and worry about her. “It wasn’t fun for Charlotte and Lou. When you’re the accident victim, it’s not scary at all. I didn’t suffer, in any way.”, she revealed at the microphone of Steven Bellery.
Nevertheless, Jane Birkin, who will give a highly anticipated first concert on January 8 at Maisons-Alfort, emerges from this mishap and keeps only the good sides of it. “Maybe it comes from my British upbringing … When I was little, it was forbidden to complain, even to the dentist. My father always told us to think about soldiers. Today my life is easy. while for others, it is much more complicated “, she finally concluded, aware of her luck.
