On April 30, 2007, France lost one of the greatest voices of our time who was able to captivate audiences and viewers for several months, in 2004, during his participation in the star Academy. On April 30, 2007, Grégory Lemarchal
indeed lost his life as a result of cystic fibrosis. Aged 23 at the time of his death, the young artist left a big void with his family, his ex-partner Karine Ferri, but also his ex-classmates.

Francesca Antoniotti never forgot the day she learned of the death of Gregory Lemarchal
“We were talking earlier about Grégory Lemarchal. Who passed away in May 2007 as a result of cystic fibrosis. How did you experience it, and even with the entire promotion?”Sarah Lecoeuvre first asked him before Cyril Hanouna’s columnist confirmed: “It was very complicated. Because we all knew that he was going to die young. In any case, those were the prognoses for cystic fibrosis at the time, thank God things have changed a lot since then, but it’s true that it wasn’t concrete for us. We didn’t know when he was going to leave. We knew he was in the hospital recently… it was quite terrible”.
The journalist then asked him if the former candidate of the star Academy remembered where she was when she heard the terrible news. “Yes, I remember… I was at home, I received a call from Karima who told me the news and that’s it…”told Francesca Antoniotti very moved remembering this difficult moment.
