Fanny Biascamano, who represented France at the Eurovision Song Contest 1997, has died at the age of 46.<\/p>\n

The singer Fanny Biascamano has died at the age of 46 after a battle with cancer. Fanny was born in 1979 and rose to fame in 1991 at the age of 12 when she appeared on the TF1 show Sacr\u00e9e Soir\u00e9e performing \u2018L\u2019Homme \u00e0 la moto\u2019 by \u00c9dith Piaf. The song would go on to be released as a single, selling over 3 million copies in France and Canada. 1991 would also see her release the first of four albums she would create during her career.<\/p>\n

In 1997, she was selected by France 2 to represent France at the Eurovision Song Contest 1997 in Dublin with \u201cSentiments songes\u201d. In Dublin, she would place 7th, scoring 95 points, including 12 points from Estonia, Norway and Poland.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Following the Eurovision Song Contest, she would continue to perform and tour across France, and in 2008 toured across the globe performing covers of \u00c9dith Piaf. In recent years, aside from singing, Fanny would become a writer, publishing three books, the two most recent being cookery books covering Southern French cuisine.<\/p>\n

The Eurovoix team would like to express our condolences to Fanny Biascamano\u2019s family and friends at this difficult time.<\/p>\n

France was one of seven countries to participate in the first Eurovision Song Contest in 1956. Since then, they have participated in every contest except 1974 and 1982. Their withdrawal in 1974 was caused by the death of President Georges Pompidou, while 1982\u2019s withdrawal was a result of TF1 declining to enter the contest. France has won the contest on five occasions, most recently in 1977, when Marie Myriam performed \u201cL\u2019oiseau et l\u2019enfant\u201d. France\u2019s best result of the 21st century came in 2021, when Barbara Pravi finished second in Rotterdam with \u201cVoil\u00e0\u201d. <\/p>\n
