This Thursday, June 20, the family and friends of Françoise Hardy met at the Père-Lachaise cemetery to pay a final tribute to the artist. Thomas Dutronc and Jacques Dutronc appeared very united in this difficult event.
On Tuesday, June 11, late in the evening, Thomas Dutronc took to Instagram to announce the death at age 80 of his mother, Françoise Hardy. Under a photo of the singer, he simply wrote: “Mom is gone.”. Quickly after making this sad news public, tributes from all over the world poured in on social networks and in the media. For many years, Françoise Hardy had been battling pharyngeal cancer, and several months ago, she said she wanted to “leave soon and quickly“. She also did not hesitate to speak out to declare herself in favor of the right to die with dignity. More than a week after her death, her son Thomas Dutronc, and her husband Jacques Dutronc – they were still married despite their separation thirty years ago – were united and accompanied by other personalities, who came to pay their last respects.
Thomas Dutronc, Jacques Dutronc and his partner, Sheila, Dave… the artists all present to pay a last tribute to Françoise Hardy
This Thursday, June 20, Thomas Dutronc and his father Jacques Dutronc arrived together at the Père-Lachaise crematorium to pay a final tribute to the woman who was a mother and a wife. The father-son duo was able to count on the support of many personalities and friends, also present for this final journey. The singer’s discreet companion, Sylvie Duval, joined the ceremony. Anouchka Delon, who did not hesitate to share her friend’s pain, was seen among all the guests. Etienne Daho made the trip, a week after paying him a moving tribute on social networks. He notably declared: “We watched you late last night, you were beautiful“. He is far from being the only singer to have entered this crematorium this afternoon. In front of a hundred strangers who insisted on being there, Nolwenn Leroy was seen, just like Sheila, Dave and her companion, Laurent Voulzy, Julien Clerc and Carla Bruni.
Politics joins singer’s funeral
Political figures also gathered for the funeral of Françoise Hardy. The former President of the Republic, Nicolas Sarkozy supported his wife. Brigitte Macron came alone, her husband Emmanuel Macron having a very complicated agenda because of the legislative elections. Finally, the Minister of Culture, Rachida Dati, represented the government.
