Florent Pagny and Marc Lavoine. Two pillars of French song and two friends who tell their stories. Indeed, the two singers are at the heart of a cross interview for the latest issue of Paris Match. The opportunity for them to talk about their current affairs and especially their heart stories, the first with Azucena Caamaño for over 30 years, the second for a few months with Adriana Karembeu, a celebrity couple who are making headlines in the press. “ What's funny is that, forty years later, every time I see Florent, I have the impression that I'm going to discover him. He is a very discreet person, who doesn't say many things about himself. (…) You put words in space, it's very rare to have confidences from you. I had a few in really special moments that I will remember for the rest of my life » attests the singer of the hit “Les yeux revolver”, who has just released his new album.

“You don't know how the wheel will turn”
Accomplices, the two singers trace the thread of their career, discuss their commitments but also their health. Particularly for Florent Pagny who has been battling lung cancer for over two years. And the interpreter of “Know how to love” confirms that “ How's it going ». « I had a fifth check yesterday. Nothing is moving, but we continue to monitor » continues the 62-year-old singer, who prefers to remain cautious since the end of treatment and speaks of a ” plan difficile » : « Because you don't choose it and you don't know how the wheel will turn. But I am still part of the lucky category in my misfortune. I have a lot of friends who went through this and who are no longer here today. ». Florent Pagny assures him in passing, “ the only thing that [le] would stop, it would be to no longer be able to sing well ».
If he was ” amazed » by his voice when he quickly returned to the studio to record the album “2bis” (210,000 sales), Florent Pagny nevertheless experienced a small ” worry ” recent : ” I hadn't been behind a microphone in a year and I struggled. I said yes to Francis Lalanne – his song was good – to do a track in support of Paul Watson, and I realized that I really needed to warm up my voice. I suffered, and then the good verses like the good choruses arrived at the end of the session. But I had this little moment of doubt, where I said to myself: “Fuck I’m getting old” “. But more fear than harm for the singer and coach of “The Voice”, whose resilience and fight command respect from Marc Lavoine : « It’s good for us that Florent is here! A guy like him shouldn't die, so he won't die ».
