With Régine's death, part of the history of Parisian life has disappeared.

On social networks and in the press, tributes follow one another for this mythical figure of French popular culture.

Starting with Boy George.

The singer of Culture Club, very attached to the queen of the night, published a photo on Twitter where he poses next to her, indicating in caption: “Rest in peace, legendary French diva Régine”.

In

Le Parisien

, it was Jane Birkin and Didier Wampas who spoke about their relationship with the one who had succeeded in building an empire of the night, all over the world.

The interpreter of

I love you, me neither

remembers that “At her place, it was always an open door for friends”.

She also mentions her commitment, as for “undocumented migrants because, as soon as she could put herself at the service of a cause, she did so”.

The Wampas singer remembered a "natural and simple" person whose "quirky side" he appreciated.

Together, they took over La Grande Zoa as a duo in 2009. “It was funny because after the recording, the sound engineer thought we had the same voice!

Me who thought I was singing like Joe Strummer,” he added.

Because in addition to being the queen of the night, Régine leaves behind an illustrious career as a singer.

In 1965, Serge Gainsbourg wrote

Les P'tits Papiers

for her , which became one of her most popular pieces.

It is this tube that Pierre Lescure remembered in a post on Twitter in the form of a tribute.

"Forever", he posted, relaying a clip of the song.

Line Renaud, for her part, shared a photo of one of their countless nocturnal encounters.

“Regine is gone.

Our paths have crossed a thousand times.

La Nuit is an orphan, she has lost her Queen.

I send all my condolences to his family and loved ones, ”she wrote on the same network.

Pierre Palmade, meanwhile, is very moved by the death of his "friend" and "confidant".

“As you were the confidante of so many artists and anonymous people who came to tell or forget their lives in all your nightclubs (…) I was in your little papers and I am proud of it, you took me like I was, without judging myself.

And that, I'm going to miss, someone who loves me without judging me.

Provided that the public is curious to listen to your songs and know your life through your books, because you are, you were, exciting.

I love you forever, Régine,” he shared on Instagram.
