Headline: French singer Françoise Hardy dies aged 80

Caption: Hardy's son, musician Thomas Dutronc, announced her death on Instagram on Tuesday by writing, "Maman est partie," which translates to "mum is gone", alongside a throwback photo. Hardy was diagnosed with lymphatic cancer in 2004 and underwent treatment, which was initially successful. After her condition worsened in 2015, she was placed in an induced coma in hospital before undergoing further cancer treatments. In 2021, after she deteriorated again, she became a vocal supporter of the legalisation of euthanasia in France.
