Just over a week after announcing his lung cancer, Florent Pagny made the cover of Paris Match and its edition of February 3, 2022. Alongside his wife Azucena Caamano, the singer strikes a pose in front of the lens of their daughter Aël (22). The magazine details that he first believed “in a severe Covid” with “sudden fatigue” and “cough that does not pass” … But the diagnosis – received in mid-January by telephone, when he was in full filming the next season of The Voice – is unfortunately more serious.
Rather than hiding the terrible news, the artist preferred to quickly share it with his fans, who were waiting to find him on stage, with his anniversary tour celebrating his 60th birthday…”I have just been diagnosed with a tumor in the lung, a not very sympathetic cancerous tumor which cannot be operated on, so I have to go into a 6 month protocol of chemotherapy and X-rays“, explained the interpreter on Instagram, on January 25. “Me and my other half have to put ourselves in warrior mode in order to face this rather special ordeal.”
In this fight that he inaugurates against the disease, Florent Pagny can count on the support of his wife Azucena Caamaño, at his side for 30 years now. A friend of the couple reports to Paris Match than lovers”quickly made a kind of pact“at the beginning of their romance:”She will be the woman of his life, the mother of his children, but for this she will have to give up working, agree to live in her shadow. In exchange for which Florent will take care of everything.”
