Florent Pagny: This famous French singer contracted a new disease while undergoing chemotherapy

Last January, famous French singer Florent Pagny announced that he has inoperable lung cancer. While he continues to undergo chemotherapy, he wishes to continue The Voice and be present for his protégés. Nevertheless, Pagny was somewhat weakened after catching another disease in the middle of shooting the show.

Florent Pagny suffering from cancer

On January 25, Pagny announced very sad news. The 60-year-old singer is suffering fromlung cancer and must undergo several sessions of chemotherapy. He said on Instagram:

I have just been diagnosed with a lung tumour, a cancerous tumour not very nice, which can not be operated on.

The singer of Savoir Aimer had to resign himself to stop his anniversary tour and is now in 'warrior' mode to beat the disease. Nevertheless, Azucena Caamaño's husband is present in the new season of The Voice, deciding to continue the show and form his team.

Pagny, who learned that he was suffering from cancer during the shooting of the show, hopes to be present for the live shows. In the meantime, he is doing his best to accompany his little protégés for the next Battles. He was, however, slowed down during the rehearsals after contracting another disease.

Although Pagny is responding well to chemotherapy, he still had to face bad news during the filming of The Voice. Indeed, while he wanted to coach his team, the singer learned that he was suffering from another disease. The friend of Marc Lavoine had to isolate himself and find another way to accompany the candidates.

He told Nathalie and Maggy:

You have been warned. I'm just like everyone else. I took the Covid. I'm positive.

Pagny thus had to give his precious advice from a distance, but seems to have recovered well from coronavirus. Moreover, he was not the only one sick during The Voice. Jade, a member of his team, also had to rehearse from a distance because she had Covid-19.

Pagny met his team a few days later and was in great shape. He said, relieved, in a clip from TF1:

That's it, it's over. Now we are protected.

Despite his heavy chemotherapy sessions, the singer will not let go of his little protégés from The Voice and is very happy to continue to unearth new talents.
