”For the past few days, she had been walking again, was motivated to reschedule her Olympia and had decided to regain her independence. This first evening alone will have been the last. She had decided it”, they add in this text transmitted by Olivier Gluzman, manager of the artist.
The singer’s artistic agency, Les Visiteurs du soir, announced that the funeral will take place in the intimacy of family and friends by invitation, and paid tribute to her on Instagram: “Jane is gone. Jane, icon but also and above all wonderful woman, talented artist, committed and free”.
”Twenty-two years of complicity, emotions, projects, incredible journeys, encounters, music, laughter, and sometimes pain, questions, commitments, desires, curiosity, and above all a deep friendship. […] We are all sad, but remember the moments of grace experienced together. A huge void,” added this agency.

Marianne Faithfull, Iggy Pop, Etienne Daho, Sheila, Benjamin Biolay, Françoise Hardy, Clara Luciani, Alain Souchon or even Serge Lama also saluted the memory of the singer.
“My dearest Jane is gone,” wrote Marianne Faithfull, also an English artist who hatched during the “Swinging London” of the 1960s and later settled in Paris, on social media.
“Warrior before the Eternal”
“Jane Birkin was a beautiful and unique woman,” responded another pop-rock figure, Iggy Pop, in comments relayed by those around her on Twitter.
Perhaps the most moving tribute came from Etienne Daho, who wrote a long message to the address of the disappeared, Monday on social networks.
”I liked your unique voice, high pitched and so singular, your free, poetic and cheeky writing, your commitments. Always honest. Always light. Always too modest and generous, attributing your successes to others”, slips the “godfather” of French pop, who had co-composed with her his album “Oh! Sorry, you were sleeping…” (2020).
“A moment of grace,” he recalls. “Defying all the laws of medicine, a warrior before the eternal, you overcame your suffering, without a complaint and with a smile, to win triumphant victories every evening, in front of an audience moved to tears. A lesson”.
Serge Lama posted a poem on Twitter: “And Vadim invented Bardot. And Gainsbourg invented Birkin. For France, two great gifts. Two great affronts to misogynists, spearheads that carry high the high feminine image. Glory to Birkin in his tomb. Sadness! Like a fine rain…”.

The singer Miossec also said he was moved by his disappearance. “Jane Birkin is the first to come and get me for lyrics”, underlines the Brestois, at the Telegram, recalling the attachment of the singer to Finistère (western France) where she had a house.
After Hermès, which had created a bag in his name, Olivier Rousteing (Balmain) and Jacquemus, it’s fashion designer Hedi Slimane’s turn to pay homage to him. He posted on Instagram a photo of Birkin in a tuxedo and white shirt for a 2016 Saint Laurent campaign, along with the lyrics “Ex fan des sixties”.
