This Saturday, May 14, 2022 will be broadcast the semi-final of The Voice on TF1, presented exceptionally by Alessandra Sublet, Nikos Aliagas being unwell. Live, the ten candidates still in competition will follow one another on stage and face the public but also the coaches of the season, Amel Bent, Marc Lavoine, Vianney and of course Florent Pagny.
Indeed, after several months of uncertainty, it was announced that the 60-year-old singer, suffering from inoperable lung cancer, would be present all evening. It was the channel that first subtly shared this information through a tweet, then via an official statement. And then, during an interview for Gala released Thursday, May 12, 2022, Azucena’s husband confirmed the good news. Viewers will then discover a Florent Pagny somewhat weakened by illness and especially by his chemotherapy sessions. Although he has already revealed his shaved head during the super cross-battles, this time it will be much more marked. This is why he will probably bring an accessory to keep up appearances. “I assume my head even if I may put on glasses because of the fallout of my eyelashes which makes me look really sick, but the rest I manage“, he said. And to have fun with his new look: “I have no more hair, no more beard, no more eyebrows! What do you want, I’ve always worked on all the looks, here I’m going to the extreme. It’s the cleanest!“
Anyway, Florent Pagny intends to accompany his talents until the end of the adventure. The Voice. Only two candidates are still in his team, Lou and Noor. Like their competitors, they will have to perform a song of their choice and will also have the opportunity to form a duet with their coach. After the performances of all the candidates, viewers will have the difficult task of voting for one finalist per team and thus, send him to the final the following week. But that’s not all since Nolwenn Leroy will return to the show with great power. The surprise coach of the season will indeed have the opportunity to save a fifth talent among the non-qualified. He will then become the finalist for the Nolwenn Leroy team.
