An appearance that is a pleasure to see. After announcing that he was suffering from lung cancer in 2022, Florent Pagny was forced to cancel his tour planned for his birthday, but also to put his career on hold. But if the appearances of the 62-year-old artist are increasingly rare, Azucena Caamaño’s husband has not completely given up performing on stage. While he had announced his return to music in 2026, on the occasion of his 65th birthday, the singer gave his fans a nice surprise by participating in a concert in the legendary Olympia hall, this Wednesday, May 29 .
A long-awaited return which was immortalized by Éric Bureau, journalist for Le Parisien, on his X account (formerly Twitter, editor’s note). On this video, we can discover Florent Pagny in the company of Hiba Tawaji, revealed in season 4 of The Voice. The two artists performed a revisited version of the famous song by Pascal Obispo’s friend, Know how to love. Dressed in his legendary black leather pants and a long vest, the father of Inca and Aël Pagny was all dashing. For once, he captivated his audience with his powerful baritone voice. “After 8 months of absence, Florent Pagny returned to the stage this evening @OLYMPIAHALL for a surprise duet with Lebanese star Hiba Tawaji on “Savoir vivre”. He will sing again tomorrow at the Salle Pleyel during a charity concert organized by the @Gouv_mili_Paris for the benefit of @BleuetFrance“,wrote Éric Bureau in the caption. A performance which did not fail to be praised by Internet users, delighted to see this emblematic artist of French song in great shape again.
