French singer and actress Francoise Hardy wears a summer fur dress launched by Chombert of Paris, France, Feb. 11, 1967. Françoise Hardy, a French singing legend and pop icon since the 1960s, has died. She was 80. Her son, musician Thomas Dutronc, announced her death on social media, sharing a poignant photo of himself as a child with his mother. Hardy, who had been battling lymphatic cancer since 2004, faced her illness with remarkable candour. She passed away on Tuesday.
Hardy had a unique approach to songwriting, emphasizing the importance of melody in her creative process. Speaking to the Associated Press in 1996 about writing songs, she explained, “I always put the words on the music. It’s always like that. I don’t write before, and then, I’m looking for music. First, I get the music and I try to put words on it.” That method contributed to the distinctive quality of her music, blending poetic lyrics with evocative melodies.
Hardy’s battle with cancer was long. She endured numerous treatments, including radiotherapy, which left her deaf in one ear. Despite her health struggles, she continued to produce music, with her final album, “Personne d’autre,” released in 2018. This album, marked by its contemplative themes and collaboration with the Finnish indie band Poets of the Fall, confronted issues of mortality.
