Winner of the fourth series of the reality TV program Star Academy (France), Grégory Lemarchal died on April 30, 2007 at the age of 23.
Grégory was born and raised near Chambéry in France. At twenty months of age, he was diagnosed with the hereditary disease cystic fibrosis.
With an incredible power, Gregory has fought the disease and never complained. He was a rising star. On December 22, 2004 Lemarchal was
announced the winner of the relality show Star Academy (Pop Idol) with 80% of the total vote, an unmatched score.
His debut single, "Ecris l'histoire" peaked at number two on the French singles chart in March 2005 and was certified platinum. His album,
"Je deviens moi" released on April 18, entered at number one and sold more than a million copies.
In 2006, he was awarded "breakthrough artist of the year" ("Révélation francophone de l'année") and in the spring, he completed his first
solo nationwide tour, and a DVD of his performance at the Olympia was released.
A new French duet version of the British singer Lucie Silvas' hit single "What You're Made Of" went to number two in the singles chart.
In 2007, Lemarchal announced that his health was deteriorating and that he was ordered by doctors to take a few months off in order to
recuperate. However, he died of complications from cystic fibrosis on the morning of April 30, 2007, waiting for an organ transplant.
The story was in the news headlines all week and five thousand fans went to Chambery to lay flowers on the day of his funeral.
On May 4, a special television program was broadcast on TF1 to commemerate his life, and its 10.5 million viewers were asked to donate
money to help progress research into finding a cure. So far more than 7.5 million euros have been raised.
