What pugnacity! Florent Pagny is definitely in all the fights! Still under treatment to eradicate his lung cancer, the singer nevertheless claims to be getting better and has decided to go on stage all summer to find his audience. In the spring, his autobiography, “Pagny by Florent” (Fayard) made a publishing success and he has also just recorded with Christophe Maé, his flagship title “And one day a woman”. At the microphone of France Info this Friday, July 14, 2023, in the program “Elodie’s world”the artist seems more serene than ever.
His secret? Surely love. The one that his fans give him every night when he sings but also and more surely that of his wife, Azucena, for whom he had tender words: “She’s much prettier than me.” he recalls with laughing emotion, “When you are so beautiful, you attract a lot of people and the selection is much harder. The bar was high, but I thought we would both get there because for me, the bar is high too.”

“Sometimes it snores at home”
Even going so far as to confess: “She has everything that I lacked, and I brought everything he could miss, when there is this complementarity, it’s what we call karmic couples.” But make no mistake about it, according to him, “that doesn’t mean to say that we are not like all couples, sometimes it snores at home (…) But it is true that after 30 years [de vie commune, ndlr]we are obliged to look at each other again and say to ourselves that for sure, we will end our life together.” With Azucena, the 61-year-old singer had two children, Inca, born in 1996 and Aël, born in 1999. The couple married in 2006. A most touching statement.
