Dani, singer and actress, has died

Singer Dani, star of the 1960s and 70s, died on the night of July 18-19.

His manager confirmed the news to our colleagues at RTL.

The artist was 77 years old and had made a name for herself first as a model before turning to the cinema and turning to song.

The public will remember in particular his duet

, performed with Etienne Daho.

Dani died of "following an illness" in the Tours region where she lived, we learned from her manager.

She had just finished the tour of her last album

and she was already finishing the preparation of a new album.

Dani was to represent France at Eurovision in 1974 but the death of the Head of State Georges Pompidou prevents the artist from packing his bags: the day of national mourning is set for April 6.

Or the day of Eurovision… For the first time since the creation of the contest in 1956, France then had to withdraw from the event.
