Florent Pagny made a small mistake on the set of the show En société this Sunday, October 20. However, no one dared to take the singer back… who corrected himself.
Florent Pagny was greatly missed by his fans. Suffering from cancer, the singer had to take a break from his career for his health. A few days ago, he announced that he had recorded a song to demand the release of environmental activist Paul Watson. The latter is currently detained in Greenland awaiting extradition to Japan.

He notably explained the reason why he wanted to participate in this movement.
