He had to put his career on hold for health reasons. Suffering from a cancerous lung tumor that cannot be operated on, Florent Pagny is entering a 6-month protocol of chemotherapy and X-rays. This is why he announced, on January 25, 2022, that he was canceling all the dates of the tour organized on the occasion of his 60th birthday. A few days before this terrible revelation, the artist offered an incredible performance to the public, which will be broadcast this Friday on television.
