In his autobiography Pagny by Florent (Fayard, 2023), the singer looks back on his breakup with Vanessa Paradis and his rivalry with Pascal Obispo.
It’s a relationship that lasted more than two and a half years. This is the one that united the singer Florent Pagny and the singer Vanessa Paradis. In 1989, the singer, then aged 16, met the interpreter of Anything10 years his senior. If this relationship would be considered problematic today, it caused a scandal in the media at the time.. They end up separating in 1991. A rupture that Florent Pagny was unable to manage:
“I cleared the photo. Direct ! That’s what I can blame her for in the end, because I was there for her so much, I worked so hard to fix everything that was wrong or unhealthy around her, and it was so successful for her. he writes in particular in his book.” He says that after this separation followed a crossing of the desert, which he details in the columns of Paris Match. : “Vanessa was gone, and my homies were gone with Vanessa. It was horrific until I met Azucena in 1993. Then I climbed back up, but it was the release of “Caruso” in 1996 that turned everything upside down. This song became famous thanks to Pavarotti, initially it was Lucio Dalla, a variety singer, who performed it.”

A supposed rivalry between Florent Pagny and Pascal Obispo
The singer also said that he had a grudge against Pascal Obispo, jealous of his supposed meeting with Vanessa Paradis. “I try to hear from Vanessa, but no sound, no pictures. My friends, finally my ex-friends, organized a party for his 19th birthday. Not only am I not invited, but they also have the bright idea of inviting a new singer to present to him. If he liked, he could be my replacement… I’m furious and I crash into the party, which allows me to hate him then cordially, since he’s the singer in question, and to conceive a grudge against him.” he writes in his book. “I will pull this tooth painlessly a little later, realizing that it had nothing to do with it. I will snatch it all the more easily since Vanessa had no affinity with him“, he concludes.
