Florent Pagny gets his revenge. If he had left “The Voice” in 2022 to focus on his fight against his lung cancer, the singer has not stopped since. “ I was able to finish a season [de “The Voice”] despite the chemos. I ended up doing festivals, in the middle I had a relapse, I was treated, I was able to do a TV show, record an album because it’s not work , it’s a destiny, it’s a life, as long as we have the energy and the strength, we do it » rejoiced the 62-year-old artist, speaking to Franceinfo, giving news of his health in passing: “ I’m doing well. (…) I think we can juggle all that if fate does things right “. And before a return to the stage planned for 2026, the man who was a hit with his autobiography “Pagny par Florent” (more than 125,000 sales) said yes to return to “The Voice”.

“We didn’t ask ourselves the question”
Thus, after a break of two seasons, Florent Pagny will return to his red chair alongside Vianney, Patricia Kaas et Zaz for the 14th edition of “The Voice”. During the filming of the blind auditions, which will be broadcast in early 2025 on TF1, the singer, who stopped his treatment, appeared in good shape and smiling, concentrated in his role, as attested by the editorial staff of Purecharts, who attended to a burst of performances this Tuesday, October 29. “ Florent is family! We started together, and there to find him so fit, so happy… » confides Pascal Guix, artistic producer on “The Voice”, at the microphone of Purecharts, revealing that his return was obvious: “ It was so simple. We said to him: “Okay, you’re in good shape, do you want to come back?” He said: “Why not, let’s go!” It’s a pleasure for him, it’s a pleasure for us ».
But did the production not hesitate to call on Florent Pagny, suspended from regular check-ups due to his fight against cancer? “ We haven’t asked ourselves the question once, but not once, really. » indicates Pascal Guix, preferring to focus on the positive: “ In truth, what we told ourselves is that we’re moving forward, we’re not thinking about it “. Looking to the future, production knows that Florent Pagny is a real asset for tele-hook, and has been since the very first season: “ He embodies something, he fits this show, the philosophy of this show, that’s how it is. He has embodied it from the start. That’s Florent’s strength, he’s been there since the first season. It’s him, it’s “The Voice” ».
