French singer-songwriter, actor, and model Françoise Hardy has died at the age of 80. Her death was announced on Tuesday (June 11) by her son, musician Thomas Dutronc, on social media. Dutronc shared a photo of himself as a baby with his mother, captioned, “Maman est partie,” which translates to “Mom is gone.”

While a cause of death has yet to be confirmed, Hardy revealed in June 2021 that she had been diagnosed with laryngeal cancer in 2018, following a lymphoma diagnosis in 2004, and said she felt “close to the end” of her life.
