Composer and emblematic performer of French song, Alice Dona deserted media events many years ago. Today based in the South of France, she is suffering from great loneliness.
On February 17, Alice Dona will celebrate her 80th birthday. But the one who wrote for the greatest – starting with her friend Serge Lama for whom she composed several dozen titles – should not celebrate her birthday with great fanfare.
Alice Donna “sunken in extreme solitude” ? She has “refused with outstretched hands”
And for good reason, the one who shared her life for 32 years with the former star host of M6, Laurent Boyer, saw her life collapse after their separation in 2013. The television man would have indeed been unfaithful to her on numerous occasions, shattering the hopes of a happy old age with the one for whom she had left her husband and father of her two children, Bernard Ricci. From there, to believe France Sundayit was a downfall for Alice Dona.
“Recluded in her house, only answering the phone to her close friends, she would have refused with outstretched hands, like those of Serge Lama, for whom she composed more than 50 songs”write the journalists. “Little by little, she sank into extreme solitude, marked by moral exhaustion and the feeling of having taken on too much…”they also say.
Alice Dona is getting up little by little: she has decided “to take care of your health”
After her separation from Laurent Boyer, the mother of Emmanuel and one of the most famous “teachers” in France, Raphaëlle Ricci, left Paris. Seduced by Vaison-la-Romaine, a small town in Vaucluse that Mimie Mathy introduced to her one New Year’s Eve, the leading composer of the 1970s would have “lived cut off from the world for a long time” in this town located northeast of Avignon where the French’s favorite Guardian Angel and her husband, Benoist Gérard, also live.
But the news wasn’t as bad as that for Alice Dona. According to a source close to the singer, cited by France Sundayshe would get up little by little. She would even be on the side of life again, since her adopted town erected a plaque in her name last May. In fact, she was even present on the day of the ceremony. “Aware that she was destroying herself, she also decided to take care of her health to make peace with herself”conclude our colleagues.
