For several months, Florent Pagny has been fighting against lung cancer. Although he is very well supported, the singer has not always been so lucky.
On January 25, Florent Pagny announced that he had been diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. For several months, the artist has been undergoing chemotherapy and seems to be reacting well to the treatment. Although he is discreet and recently appeared with a shaved head, the companion of Azucena Caamaño does not give up in the face of the disease.
Florent Pagny with cancer
According to Public, Florent Pagny’s tumor has shrunk by half and he has already completed 30 of the 50 chemotherapy sessions. Good news for his family, who support him every day in the face of cancer. If he is very tired, the interpreter of Savoir Aimer remains optimistic. Everything is fine, said her daughter Ael on Instagram.
Florent Pagny is well surrounded and his family gives him unfailing support today. Nikos Aliagas, Marc Lavoine, Amel Bent, his comrades from The Voice are also behind him and take care of him. However, this has not always been the case. In the past, when he was not yet famous, the 60-year-old artist found himself on the street and had to knock on the door of the Salvation Army.
Florent Pagny lodged at the Salvation Army
Florent Pagny had a difficult adolescence and had to do several odd jobs to help his parents pay the bills. However, when his family was left in ruins, he had to turn to the Salvation Army for help. They can allow people who do not have the means, like us, to still be able to have housing, he told Europe 1 in 2021.
The robbery victim spent several months alone at the Salvation Army and had to learn to fend for herself. In the end, my first home was the Salvation Army in Ménilmontant, he recalls. Nevertheless, thanks to his strength of character and his courage, Florent Pagny refuses to admit defeat and very quickly takes his destiny into his own hands.
The artist, who will be back for the live broadcast of The Voice, goes up to Paris with his backpack and works for restaurants and businesses. Finally, a few years later, fate smiled on him and Ael’s father met his lucky star, Dominique Besnehard. It was as an actor that Florent Pagny was able to pay his first rent and eventually became one of the most adored French singers. A beautiful revenge on life!

Florent Pagny in The Voice All-Stars
For several weeks, TF1 has been broadcasting the new season of The Voice. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the show, the production team has chosen to launch an All-Stars edition, with the return of former star candidates. Viewers were able to rediscover the voices of Olympe, Terence James and Louis Delort. As for the coaches, the public found Jenifer, Mika, Patrick Fiori, Zazie and Florent Pagny.
Florent Pagny is slowly building his team in The Voice and hopes that one of his talents will win this anniversary season. For several years, the artist has led a peaceful life with his wife Azucena Caamaño in Patagonia. I love being in this natural environment. It’s another trip, of course, he said last May in front of Nikos Aliagas in 50′ Inside.
Florent Pagny, former cannabis user
If, today, Florent Pagny takes advantage of the calm of Patagonia to clear his head, he has long preferred another method. When he was younger, the singer used drugs. I touched a bit of everything, just to know what it was, he revealed in Ciné Télé Revue. However, he was mostly a regular cannabis user.
My problem is that I am hyperactive, very nervous, difficult to channel. The day I discovered cannabis, it helped me, he confided to our colleagues. The singer was taking cannabis as a medicine, but ended up quitting the drug when he discovered its ill effects. The singer of Knowing how to love also advised young people not to consume it. It should not be touched before being formed and structured.
