The queen of the night is gone… Sunday May 1, 2022, Regine died at the age of 92. For’AFPthe singer’s granddaughter, Daphne Rotcage announced: “Régine left us peacefully on May 1st at 11:00 a.m.“For several years, Régine wanted to reunite with those she had lost years before. ; notably his brother, Maurice Bidermann, who died two years earlier, and his son, Lionel, who succumbed to lung cancer in 2006, at the age of 58. For Paris Matchher granddaughter said: “Régine has lived a thousand lives, so her departure is not premature, in the sense of unfair. I’m rather relieved about that, because she didn’t want to age too much at 92. I shared with her her last week, her last day, her final moments (…) I think it was with a clear conscience that she chose to leave.“
Close to his grandmother, Daphne Rotcage has seen that the health of the latter had declined in recent months. Settled in the United Kingdom, the young woman then went regularly to France to see her. She recalled: “Last summer she had a health problem and I came back from London. We realized that she could no longer stay at home. We decided together that she would go to the Maison des artistes.“According to Daphné Rotcage, Régine was accompanied until the end.”All his friends took turns“, she assured, before specifying that the state of health of the star “began to deteriorate at the start of the year.“
