What a sad announcement. This Sunday, July 16, 2023, the Franco-British actress, singer and director Jane Birkin was found lifeless in her Parisian home, reported our colleagues from Parisian. She was 76 years old. For some time, she had had to cancel her concerts for health reasons, such as those in June at the Olympia and at La Cigale, where she was to sing her latest opus on stage. “Oh ! Sorry, you were sleeping. In May 2023, the most popular Englishwoman in France spoke in a press release to announce that she no longer felt able to go on stage : “I have always been a great optimist, and realize that I still need a little time to be able to be on stage again and with you. I miss you”.

Since the announcement of his death, many personalities have paid tribute to him, such as Jean Dujardin, Patrick Bruel, Laurent Delahousse, Jean-Luc Reichmann who wrote on Twitter: “What a great sadness to learn of the disappearance of Jane Birkin. You were all sweetness and elegance Jane.“ Or the chef Hélène Darroze who remembers having offered him a “gingerbread” and who posts:“A lady I admired so much leaving us…so inspiring… RIP Icon Jane Birkin…” or even the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron who salutes the career of the singer and the actress and her “commitments” : “Because she embodied freedom, she sang the most beautiful words of our language, Jane Birkin was a French icon. Full Artist, his voice was as sweet as his engagements were ardent. She bequeaths us tunes and images that will never leave us.“, he posted on social networks.

“When one is so pretty, so fresh, so spontaneous, with a child’s voice, one has no right to die.”

And it is another icon of cinema and music who also came out of silence this Sunday, July 16, 2023. From the one who almost makes vows of silence except when the urgency of a tribute arises. Brigitte Bardot indeed grabbed her stationery and, with her beautiful curvaceous handwriting, also wanted to pay homage to Jane Birkin. Between them, the same man: Serge Gainsbourg. They were in turn his muses, his sources of musical inspiration. It was in 1968 that the love crossover will happen. Bardot has just left Serge who is deeply depressed. For the needs of a film, that of Serge Grimblat, Slogan, a casting is carried out… The musician meets Jane, filiform and stammering French. These two begin by yelling at each other and hating each other… the beginning of their romance. The iconic ex-muse of the brilliant musician who interpreted the first version of “I love you, me neither” has therefore given way to the imagination but also to Serge Gainsbourg’s bed. And publishes today on Twitter a photograph of his letter addressed to the memory of Jane: “Sunday July 16, very sad! I am very sorry, Jane is gone. When one is so pretty, so fresh, so spontaneous, with a child’s voice, one has no right to die. She remains forever in our hearts. She fled ‘the slush, the slush’ that ravages her second homeland and whispers to us ‘I love you’. “We neither” answers him what remains of France”. Brigitte Bardot captioned this emotional post: “I have a big sorrow, Jane Birkin is gone“. Tribute from one icon to another…
