Françoise Hardy is extremely loved by the French. A feeling that touches her a lot, as mentioned in the columns of the JDDthis Sunday, July 3, 2022. Her hits have earned her the right to belong to France’s musical heritage, but yet she does not hide her “shame“to be French. About the recent presidential and legislative elections, the former companion of Jacques Dutronc made some cash secrets to our colleagues. But does she plan to leave France?
“I am appalled that there are so many extremists in my country, so many people ignorant of its economic realities and I’m ashamed to be Frenchshe let the JDD. All European countries have raised the retirement age to 65-67 years even though they do not have the highest public expenditure in the world, as in France!“Thomas Dutronc’s mother, of whom she is so proud, nevertheless does not plan to turn her back on this country that she loves so much. When asked if she has ever considered leaving it, she replies: “I never wanted to go anywhere else. In one form or another, the nightmare is everywhere.“
His ordeal
During this interview, Françoise Hardy also returns of course to her state of health, which has been very alarming for years. The 78-year-old singer is indeed fighting against the disease, victim of lymphatic cancer, then cancer of the pharynx. She has been living in confinement for more than three years. “Since my 45 radiotherapies, the definitive absence of saliva and the lack of irrigation of the skull and the entire ENT area have made my life nightmarish. I spend at least five hours a day feeding myself and am always at risk of nosebleeds because my nostrils are too dry and clogged despite the oil I coat them with several times a day. A recent hemorrhage has made my back throat even more parched, causing me coughing and choking attacks.“, she notably confided.
His fear of death
Despite all these terrible charges, she does not hide that her fear of dying is still there. The one to whom we owe the tubes in particular All the boys and girls, How to say goodbye to you or So many beautiful things says about it:I have long thought that death is only that of the body which belongs to the material world but not of the spirit (of the soul) that physical death frees and which is of another essence. That does not prevent me from being afraid of dying.“
