Emily Bécaud lost her daddy Gilbert when she was only 29 years old. The singer did not fail to pay tribute to her father on his birthday and even unveiled a childhood snapshot, witness to their close relationship.
Death on December 18, 2001 of lung cancer at the age of 74, Gilbert Bécaud would have celebrated his 94th birthday this Sunday, October 24, 2021. His daughter Emily (fruit of his love with Cathryn Lee St. John, known as “Kitty”) held to pay him a heartfelt tribute on Facebook on such a special day. Nostalgic for all the moments spent with her precious dad, the 49-year-old singer shared a snapshot where we see her as a child next to the one we nicknamed Mr. 100,000 Volts. In caption, she writes: “Dad, you would be 94 today. I think of you so hard. I miss you so much, we miss you so much. “
Benevolent towards her father’s fans and all those who support her, she continues: “To you who follow me on this page, thank you for sharing dad songs today on your social networks. I want the whole world to know that we still think of him, that young people discover his songs and that we talk about him again and again. Thank you for your messages and your encouragement for the duo My Emotions that touched me a lot.“(Emily has indeed released a virtual duet with her daddy who disappeared on October 22, baptized My Emotions).
Touched by the recent resumption of Anne Sila on the show The Voice All Stars of the title worship from her daddy, I come back for you, and recognition of all the artists who pay homage to her songs, she adds: “Well done to Anne Sila for reviving I come back for you and congratulations on your victory. Thanks to the artists for continuing to sing daddy. You are helping us overcome this immense void that he left when he left almost 20 years ago.“”I am so proud to be Gilbert Bécaud’s daughter“she concludes, in this post filled with love and tenderness.
As a reminder, Gilbert Bécaud had five children. From his first marriage to Monique Nicolas, he became the father of Gilbert born on February 2, 1953, Philippe born in 1957 and Anne (born in 1961, died in 2019). After their separation in the 1960s, Gilbert met in 1965 the model Cathryn Lee St. John, known as “Kitty”. With her, he became daddy of Emily in 1972 and then of Noï (daughter adopted in Laos in 1993).
