On April 16, 2020, the music world was in mourning: the singer Christophe died at the age of 74. Daniel Bevilacqua, real name, died after weeks of fighting against pulmonary emphysema. Audrey’s companion left an orphan France, as well as her daughter Lucie and her son Romain. Among his fellow singers, one in particular had struggled to get used to the sad news: Pascal Obispo. The songwriter, former coach of The Voice, had confided his sentence to our colleagues from TV 7 Days in May 2020, just a few weeks after the death of the interpreter of Blue words : “I lost a very dear friend, Christophe. It upset me and still affects me a lot”.

He said that, until then, he was holding on. With his emphysema, he unfortunately ticked all the negative boxes. We still had so much to share … I had to go on stage with him, he asked me to be his bassist for a concert “.
