“I have a thought…”: Pascal Obispo bursts into tears while paying tribute to Daniel Lévi – Closer

Time passes, but his pain remains the same… Saturday August 6, 2022, Daniel Lévi died at the age of 60, a few weeks after becoming the father of a little girl. For three years, the singer had been battling colon cancer. Friday, November 24, 2023, on the set of the show L’anniversaire secret, on France 3, Pascal Obispo wanted to pay tribute to him by covering the hit L’Envy to Love, from The Ten Commandments. “We’re thinking of you Daniel”, he said at the end of the song. In tears, the artist blurted out: “I have a very strong thought for Daniel this evening who left a year ago. He was someone extraordinarily kind, extraordinarily talented, extraordinarily good…“ So, Zazie came to the rescue, asking if it wasn’t time “general hug”. “You can’t think of this song without thinking of this person who made something else out of it”added the singer.

Sunday September 17, 2023, on the set of Vivement Dimanche, on France 3, Pascal Obispo spoke of the return of the Ten Commandments. After viewing images of Daniel Lévi, performing L’pulsion d’aimer, the singer indicated: “How can I put it… Daniel, at the top of his art with L’année d’aimer, without whom we would not have had such success… He carried this troupe with the talents, the singers who were with him to obviously form this magnificent team. (…) It’s also a lot thanks to him that we had this success”. Talking about what the person who had participated in Mask Singer wanted to do before his death, he said: “He wanted to do an operation for pianos in hospitals, one piano per hospital. Maybe thanks to the release of this single and the Ten Commandments, we will be able to give to hospitals, pianos, thanks to Daniel“.

What Daniel Lévi’s widow thinks of the new Ten Commandments show

On Instagram, it was with emotion that Sandrine Lévi spoke to her husband’s fans about the return of the show. “When I learned of this return, I hurt, very hurt, and I assure you that my words are nothing compared to the suffering I experienced that day”she wrote, before adding: “When some time ago, Pascal Obispo told me: ‘Sandrine, no one will sing L’Envie d’aimer, it’s impossible and unimaginable’. He then said to me with great respect, and I thank him: ‘I would like to put Daniel’s a cappella voice in the new show and then let the audience sing’, I thought my heart was stopping”.
