The
French singer France Gall has died aged 70. She passed Sunday morning (7
January 2018) in Paris.
Gall's
representative confirmed the news in a statement, saying the singer died after
an infection complication caused by cancer. AFP initially reported the death.
The
singer had been hospitalised in December. She had previously been diagnosed
with breast cancer in 1993, one year after her husband and fellow singer Michel
Berger died from a heart attack.
Gall
first came to the French public's attention with the song "Don't Be So
Stupid" when she was just 16, the single selling 200,00 copies.
She went
on to work with songwriter Serge Gainsbourg, Gall singing their song
"Poupée de cire, poupée de son" at the Eurovision Song Contest in
1965, winning the competition for Luxembourg.
