In 1986, Daniel Balavoine was tragically died in a helicopter crash during a Paris-Dakar journey. The singer was then only 33 years old. At the time, he left behind a two-year-old son, Jérémie, and his partner Corinne, then pregnant with a second child born a few months later and named Joana. On February 5, Daniel Balavoine would have turned 70. On this occasion, France 3 prepared a tribute to him this Friday, February 18 with the program The 300 choirs sing Daniel Balavoine’s most beautiful songs.
Many artists of all generations have traveled to the set to reinterpret his greatest hits, from My son, my fight at All cries the SOS Passing by Aziza. Viewers will be able to see Soprano, Kendji Girac, Florent Pagny, Nolwenn Leroy, Vincent Niclo, Bénabar, Chimène Badi, Pascal Obispo, Hélène Ségara, Barbara Pravi, Julie Zenatti, Anggun, Anne Sila, Marina Kaye, Elsa Esnoult, Clement Albertini, Joyce Jonathan and Amaury Vassili. They will sing accompanied by the most beautiful French choirs, namely the Choeur de Pierre, Gospel pour 100 Voix, the Croches en choir and the Choeur C4.
Chimène Badi, still so slim, will undoubtedly cause a sensation with her sexy and minimalist look consisting of a shirt boyfriend and beige waders. She will compete in beauty with Nolwenn Leroy, more relaxed in jeans and the actress Elsa Esnoult, dolled up in a fuchsia pink dress. Anne Sila and Marina Kaye opted for more sober but equally elegant black outfits. (See our slideshow).
Note that Florent Pagny will appear in great shape on the stage to honor the career of Daniel Balavoine, who is suffering from cancer and currently undergoing chemotherapy. Saturday evening, this time it will be on the air on TF1 for the new episode of The Voice.
