Bambou, the last companion of Serge Gainsbourg, has just published her memoirs, “Pas à pas dans la nuit”. The opportunity for her to clarify things about the legacy left by the singer.
She was the last companion of Serge Gainsbourg. Together, they even had a son, Lulu, who also traces his path in music. Last November, Bambou published his memoir entitled Step by step in the night. A moving book in which she gives herself entirely and whose story ends on March 2, 1991, the day of Serge Gainsbourg’s death.
Serge Gainsbourg did not write a will…
In her memoirs, the one who in town is called Caroline Paulus omits no detail. Not even this big secret: before Lulu, she and Serge Gainsbourg had another child. Born extremely premature, he died at birth and no one ever talked about it. Bambou is no longer afraid to tell his truth. It is therefore up to her to dot the i’s about what arouses the curiosity of the general public, namely the legacy left by the father of Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lulu Gainsbourg.
“As Serge thought he was signing his death warrant by writing his will, I have nothing of his except a bathrobe, a pair of Repettos, photos and my jewelry which I will never sell”she told our colleagues at Figaro. Before adding very clearly: “Lulu and he alone receives the pensions linked to his father”. This has the merit of being clear. As for Charlotte, she manages her father’s historic house, rue de Verneuil in Paris, which has become a museum.
Bamboo has “nothing asked” on the death of Serge Gainsbourg
Like her other brothers and sisters – Serge Gainsbourg also had two other children, Paul and Natacha, born from his second marriage – Lulu therefore receives part of her father’s copyright, managed by a company set up by the poet himself. “I have neither moral rights nor right of inspection. It is Serge’s four children who share it. I had Lulu’s moral rights when he was little and he logically took it back when he came of age. C This is normal, we were not married and Serge had not made a will. He died two weeks before his meeting with his lawyers. I had nothing after his death but I did not ask for anything. “added the one who lived thirteen years with Serge Gainsbourg in the columns of Parisian.
