Official announcement of Michel Legrand's passing from his management
“This is with great sadness that we have to announce the passing away of our friend and artist Michel Legrand who left us peacefully this Saturday 26th January.
He changed the meaning of music in films with his sense of rhythm and his absolute passion for life.
Goodbye to our dearest Michel Legrand, thank you for 21 years of friendship, partnership and music.
Our thoughts are with his wife and family during this sad time...
RIP from City Lights, Philippe, Hervé, Dora and Diana.”
