“It was sad”, Carla Bruni makes a touching statement after the funeral ceremony

It was the day before the Fête de la Musique that we were able to say a last goodbye to Francoise Hardy. Nine days after his son Thomas Dutronc had announced the death of his mother through a heartbreaking message posted on social networks, the interpreter of So many beautiful things gathered around her an audience of stars at Pere Lachaise Cemetery where the funeral took place, when we learned that she would not be buried there. Françoise Hardy actually wanted her ashes to be scattered in a place dear to her heart.

Among the famous faces spotted in the Parisian cemetery where several personalities rest including Edith Piaf, Eugène Delacroix, Alfred de Musset and Frédéric Chopin, we saw the singers Matthew And Louis Chedid, Marc Lavoine, Laurent Voulzy and of course Etienne Daho, who had already published a very touching message after the announcement of the death of Françoise Hardy. It must be said that he was very close to her, so much so that he was by her side when she took her last breath. Sheila had also paid a poignant tribute to the one she described as her soul mate. She was therefore expected at the Père Lachaise cemetery.

Nicolas Sarkozy pays tribute to Françoise Hardy

The First Lady Brigitte Macron made a notable appearance, but she was mostly booed upon her arrival, while France could be preparing to experience a political crisis following the wish of her husband Emmanuel Macron to dissolve the National Assembly and organize new elections. Should we make the link? In any case, she was not the only high-ranking personality present for the funeral of Françoise Hardy since the former First Lady Carla Bruni was seen on the arm of the former President of the Republic, her husband Nicolas Sarkozy. The couple remained united throughout the ceremony and agreed to say a few words to the singer who died of cancer at the age of 80.

Carla opted for discretion by wearing a black suit and white sneakers, sunglasses screwed on her nose. Interrogated by the cameras of BFM TVthe ex-model said of this ceremony that it was akin to a “simple goodbye to his image“. “I was very happy to see that there were a lot of people who came and applauded. It was moving and sad“ at once, she emphasized with a voice on the edge, due to the emotion aroused. “She has accompanied me, like many French people, since my adolescence”for his part continued Nicolas Sarkozy before describing Françoise Hary as “great artist”.

Carla Bruni withdrawing from the music scene?

Indeed, since its beginnings in the 1960s, the one that we quickly associated with the “yéyé” generation with Sylvie Vartan and Johnny Hallyday has had a string of successes. All the boys and girls, The time of love or How to say goodbye to you, are all titles that have stood the test of time and with which several generations have grown up. On the other hand, unlike Calogero who was also present at Françoise Hardy’s funeral, Carla Bruni never collaborated with her even for one song. However, the interpreter of Someone told me has written for a number of artists – sometimes under a pseudonym – including Julien Clerc and Christophe Willem.

Masterfully leading her career as a singer in France and abroad, Giulia’s mother has not released a new album for four years now. Carla Bruni was released during the Covid-19 period and featured melodies like A great love And Somethingas well as a duet with her sister Valeria Bruni Tedeschi (Voglio l’amore).
