France Gall - Biography
Isabelle Geneviève Marie Anne "France" Gall (9 October 1947 – 7 January 2018) was a French yé-yé singer. She won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1965. She was married to, and had a successful singing career in partnership with, French singer-songwriter Michel Berger, until his death. The couple had two children.
Pauline, Gall's elder child with Michel Berger, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis soon after she was born. She and Berger had decided to pin their hopes on the progress of medical research and keep details of Pauline's condition a secret from the public. She entered into a pact with her husband to alternate their professional projects to take care of their daughter in the hope that a cure would be found. Pauline died of this in December 1997.
Gall was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 1993, which was successfully treated. Following the death of her daughter, Gall made only occasional public appearances.
Her son Raphaël is a music supervisor. As a farewell to her career, a documentary movie was shot in 2001, France Gall par France Gall. Millions watched the documentary when it was broadcast on French television that year. Gall staged and appeared in the 2007 France 2 documentary, Tous pour la musique, marking the 15th anniversary of Michel Berger's death. She was a patron of the French charity Coeurs de Femmes and also a regular poker player up until her death.
A long-term breast cancer survivor, Gall died, aged 70, of an infection after a two year battle with a cancer of undisclosed primary origin, at the American Hospital of Paris in Neuilly-sur-Seine on 7 January 2018.
