On June 11, 2024, the French learned of the disappearance of Françoise Hardy. It was her son, Thomas Dutronc, who revealed her death while she fought for many years against the disease. Thursday, June 27, 2024, our colleagues from Paris Match evoke the last moments of the singer which would not have been easy.
“I’m very, very bad, I feel like I’m dying“, she is said to have confided to those close to her.”Her cancer won the game and Françoise resigned herself to what, according to her, resembles palliative care.“, we can still read in the columns of the magazine while Françoise Hardy had been hospitalized at the American Hospital, an establishment where she had already undergone 55 chemotherapies.
Françoise Hardy wanted her son to be the last to know of her death
Feeling that she was living her last moments,
she had asked that only her relatives could visit her. She would also have requests that Thomas and Jacques Dutronc be “the last to know about [sa] disappearance“. This is why the singer’s son did not seem to be at her side when she took her last breath.
His mother would have asked him not to “nothing to cancel for (her)” and of “continue to work“. So, it was around 10:30 p.m. Françoise Hardy would have died surrounded by her niece and her former press secretary. They had the difficult mission of teaching Thomas Dutronc that his mother was “part soothed and rested“.
Thomas Dutronc was not in Paris when Françoise Hardy died
Only, the singer was not in Paris when his mother died. He was in the provinces to give concerts. Respecting his mother’s last wishes, he honored his commitments and returned to Paris three days later, on June 14. This is why he discovered his mother’s remains only three days after her death.
Since then, the singer never misses an opportunity to pay tribute to his mother. He has also released a new song in which he evokes the one who gave him her life and for whom he has always had a lot of love.
