Alain Delon and his death

His last appearance in public was in May 2019 at the Cannes Film Festival to receive honorary Palme d’or. His emotional speech at that time read:
“It’s a bit of a posthumous tribute, but from my lifetime,”
“I am going to leave, but I won’t leave without thanking you.”
Alain died peacefully in his sleep. A statement given to AFP News agency said:
“Alain Fabien, Anouchka, Anthony, as well as (his dog) Loubo, are deeply saddened to announce the passing of their father.”
“He passed away peacefully in his home in Douchy, surrounded by his three children and his family,”
Alain was unwell in the last few years of his life after he developed stroke in 2019.

The French President Emmanuel Macron paid his tribute to the departed soul. He said:
“Alain had played legendary roles and made the world dream.”
