Dear friends,
We are very sad to announce this Sunday 07/10/2022 the death of Chantal GALLIA which occurred today following a stroke.
For nearly 20 years, Chantal had known how to meet the success of the public who faithfully followed her in her artistic career.
Chantal’s talent for singing, imitating others, making us laugh, moving us, was extraordinary.
Chantal was a pioneer of female imitation in France with nearly 120 male and female voices imitated, spoken and sung.
Until today, your many messages of support, your faithful support touched her and filled her a lot.
In 1993, Chantal devoted herself to other life choices. Until today, she had never forgotten you.
Chantal had been particularly sensitive to all your support. She wanted her work and her talent to continue to live on the internet, through the videos that her fans broadcast.
Chantal’s family thanks all those who will join in her pain and perpetuate her artistic memory.
The funeral ceremony will be held in strict family privacy.
The family of Chantal GALLIA
