His death was a real shock for the singer: idol of the 1960s and 1970s, Georgette Lemaire has lost her eldest son, Yvanat the beginning of October, according to information from France Sunday. Buried on October 17 at the Montmartre cemetery in Paris, the sexagenarian born of the past union between the singer and a waiter, Daniel, had long since fallen into the whirlwind of addictions.
