Death of Jane Birkin: Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon overwhelmed, difficult reunion for her birthday

It’s a difficult first Christmas for Jane Birkin’s loved ones. The singer died on July 16, 2023 at the age of 76. She would also have celebrated her birthday on December 14. That day, to pay tribute to him, his daughters Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon went to the Montparnasse cemetery, in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, to pay their respects at his grave.

On December 14, 2023, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon also paid tribute, very discreetly, to their mother on social networks. They shared childhood photos, memories, their mother’s driving license… it must be said that the singer left something other than her musical heritage behind her. Just like her former companion Serge Gainsbourg, she was quite a collector.

She kept everything in many, many cardboard boxes. “It’s going to be shit for you when I die, because I’m leaving all my shit to you, Jane Birkin repeated to her daughters, as the magazine recalls Gala on January 4, 2024. Not just my mess but my mother’s and all of Kate’s boxes.” As for Kate Barry, her memory also lingers around at the end of the year. It was on December 11, 2013, 10 years ago, that the photographer fell from the window of her apartment, located ay 4th floor.

A concert in tribute to Jane Birkin

Jane Birkin loved her three daughters desperately. She described Kate as the observer and Lou as “the Sentinel” – that’s what she nicknamed her. With the help of her sister, Charlotte, who is the eldest survivor, decided to maintain her mother’s last concert date. Before dying, the latter had actually planned to go on stage at the Olympia in Paris on February 3, 2024. A tribute concert, Jane Birkin By Friendsdesigned by Etienne Daho and Jean-Louis Piérot, was organized instead.
