French singer Françoise Hardy, who achieved worldwide fame, passed away at the age of 80, as announced by her son Thomas Dutronc on Tuesday, according to Agence France-Presse. In the list of the 200 greatest singers of all time published by Rolling Stone magazine in 2023, Hardy was the only French singer to feature. The French star was diagnosed with cancer in 2004, which turned her life into a nightmare. Hardy stated in a 2023 interview with Paris Match that she wished for "a quick death, without facing too many challenges like difficulty breathing."
Hardy began her artistic career in 1962 with the song "Tous les Garçons et les Filles," which achieved great success, selling over two million copies. She wrote and composed the song, which was rare at that time. She was 18 years old, and it was her first song. In addition to this successful work, the public remembers her soft voice, her marriage to Jacques Dutronc, and their son Thomas, who also became a singer like his parents.
