Jane Birkin, who died on Sunday July 16 at the age of 76, was aware that her fight against leukemia could put her life in danger. In 2013, she even estimated that she only had ten years left to live.
The announcement of the death of Jane Birkin has left her family, her fans and many personalities in disarray.
The British-born singer and actress died on Sunday July 16 at the age of 76. The mother of Kate Barry, who died in 2013, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon has faced many health problems in recent years.
The ex-girlfriend of Serge Gainsbourg was indeed the victim of a STROKE in 2021, which weakened him a lot. But she also fought several years against cancer, leukemia. Diagnosed in 1998, the interpreter of “The slush” had explained that “It was not a very painful cancer, [que] Leukemia is a fairly common disease”. But in 2023, she experiences a recurrence, which this time leaves her a little less optimistic. She confided to Paris Match in 2013: “I understood whether I wanted it or not, that I had only ten years left in front of me. Well, if I do like mom (Judy Campbell, who died in 2004 at the age of 88, editor’s note), can -be a little more. But, there is not a moment to lose”.
A terrible prediction that sounds tragic today, the day after his disappearance.
In 2021, the general public learned more about the most British of French artists, thanks to the film “Jane by Charlotte”, directed by his daughter. An unprecedented and universal intimate conversation that reveals a mother facing a daughter, and confessions collected over several years. A precious testimony for fans of the artist, whose last public appearance dates back to last February, during the Cesar ceremony.
