faced great loneliness for five months. Suffering from a rapid cancer totally incompatible with Covid-19, he should not have survived the virus. The famous 62-year-old composer spoke to Le Figaro magazine. In remission, he received support from a famous singer!
Éric Serra, known for being the composer of the incredible soundtrack of Le Grand Bleu, has come a long way. “I had small intestinal lymphoma. It's cancer of the lymph nodes. He was quite dazzling, explains the 62-year-old musician. Give or take a few days, if I hadn’t noticed it, I might not be here to tell you about it,” he explains.
ÉRIC SERRA RECEIVED SUPPORT FROM FLORENT PAGNY DURING HIS FIGHT AGAINST CANCER
During his illness and treatment, it was the support of singer Florent Pagny, who suffered from lung cancer, which was of great help to him. “We exchanged little messages, we called each other. Casually, this complicity did me a lot of good, and I imagine it did him too. We talked about chemo, about how we felt. We healed in parallel. Florent is particularly positive. »
For the artist, the hardest part was cloistering himself for five months. The professor of medicine who followed him insisted on this fact. “This specific cancer is the only one that is 100% incompatible with Covid. If you ever catch it before the end of treatment, you have very little chance of recovering.”
ÉRIC SERRA HAD TO STAY AT HOME FOR FIVE MONTHS, RECLUSED
The composer in remission adds: “A few days later, my daughter had Covid. I lived completely cloistered for five months. I didn’t approach my children within 3 meters.” A situation that must have been very difficult to overcome. Fortunately, Éric Serra was able to communicate with the outside world during this period.
Composer Éric Serra was also forced to cancel his tour of film concerts for the soundtrack of Le Grand Bleu, the film by Luc Besson. But, according to the latest news, he will be able to resume these dates in the fall. The public is delighted! Regarding Florent Pagny, his loyal support, he is also currently in remission. “It was not at all the same cancer, but we each had six chemo sessions, spaced at the same interval,” confides Éric Serra. The two were able to support each other during this difficult time. We're waiting for the remission duo album!
