Fans of Lara Fabian were horrified to discover one of the publications in the singer’s Instagram story. The latter had posted a photo of producer Franck Saurat. Indeed, this figure of the small screen died in the night between Wednesday 7 and Thursday 8 December “following a cardiac arrest, in a Parisian hospital”, at age 55 as broadcast The Parisian. “A loyal, enthusiastic and committed partner, Franck Saurat has established privileged and trusted ties with a large number of artists, whom he has always known how to accompany and enhance”, wrote France Télévisions in a press release.
Founder of the Carson Prod production house in 2001, with his friend Jean-Luc Delarue, he has also produced many shows, such as Stars at home, The Grand Shows, Sidaction, The victories of music and the program dedicated to the Fête de la Musique broadcast on France 2 between 2002 and 2009. Close to the Quebec singer Céline Dion, the producer has also developed several programs around her, such as Grand Show by Michel Drucker, in 2012, but also Céline Dion, my life without René, on the death of husband, in 2016.
“Dear Frank. The last picture I will keep of you is from our last meeting for my Olympia show… You who loved music and artists so much… The world of television is losing one of those that allowed it to offer such a beautiful show… My moved thoughts accompany you and my heart turns to yours”, shared the interpreter of I love you, shocked by this loss.
