French singer Gainsborough, who is currently embroiled in a high-profile feud with fellow French actress, Dita Von Teese, says she will never forget her late father, who was a painter.
“I can’t imagine the pain and the grief that my father went through, and I can’t understand how someone could kill him,” Gainsboro said on Friday (Dec 7) on her new album “Viva La Vie.”
Gainsborough said her father had been an artist for over 30 years and had painted everything from street murals to portraits, and was always working on a new project.
“He was an artist, and when you think about that, you can understand how he went from being an art student to being an artist.
And to think about how he was murdered, he was just murdered.”
Goldsborough, whose father died when she was just four years old, described how her father was known as a “glorious painter,” and said he often painted on the walls of his home in a style similar to the works of Van Gogh.
Gainsboro is the latest in a line of artists to publicly address their father’s death in recent years.
In February, French musician Philippe Thibaut-Nanter and his wife, the pop star Léa Seydoux, were arrested in connection with the death of their father, French film director Jean-Pierre Boulanger, in December 2011.
Thibaut-Lanter, who has made a name for himself with his solo work, was accused of shooting his wife during a quarrel and then burning his body to the ground.
In 2013, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to three years in prison.
In her new interview with The Jerusalem Times, Gainsbrook said she was grateful for the support she has received from her father’s fans since the incident, but was also surprised by the attention the death has drawn.
“It’s always been so difficult for me to understand that, when I was growing up, when my father was killed, that nobody cared,” she said.
“But now, thanks to the Internet, the whole world is talking about it.
I can see it in the news.
I think that my dad was the first person that I understood why people loved art so much.
He was such a genius.”
In a statement to the newspaper, Thibaut Nanter’s wife said that the couple would never forgive her husband for his actions and said that they would “never forget him and his pain.”
Gaintsboro also shared an image of herself holding a painting of her father, which she said was made by a friend in her hometown of Toulouse.
The musician said she hopes the outpouring of support she received will help to bring her father to justice.
“When you have something so beautiful, and someone that you love so much, you hope that you will be able to make something for your father to be able hold, because that is such a beautiful thing,” she added.
“That is what my father wanted, and that is what he will never forgive, and he is so proud of it.”
Gainborough, 37, has previously expressed anger at her father for taking his own life, saying he “loved to kill.”
“He wanted to make art,” she told The Times.
“He loved the craft.
And he always knew he would make a living doing it.
That’s why he always kept working, even though he was an amateur.
And you know, he would have been working all day long.”
In an interview with French radio station RMC, Goursborough described how she grew up in an impoverished neighborhood in France’s southern city of Marseilles and lived in a nearby apartment with her mother and a younger sister.
Gestsborough said that she always had a close bond with her parents, and said they taught her to value friendship above all else.
“There was no way to explain what I feel in my heart, because my parents were very kind and gentle,” she continued.
“It’s the most important thing to me, and it’s why I’ve always had such a strong sense of love.”
Goursborough, born Jeanne de Mouton, is a singer, songwriter and actress, who gained popularity for her hits in the 1990s with hits like “Vivace La Vie” and “The Great Wall of China.”
She has also won numerous awards, including the French Golden Globe for best actress, the French Academy Award for best performance by an actress and the Golden Globe Award for musical comedy.
She has also been awarded four Olivier Awards, including for her performance in the 2002 musical “Les Enfants Terribles.”
Getsborough was awarded a Golden Globe, BAFTA, Tony Award, American Music Award, British Music Award and the French Culture Prize in 2013 for “Vive La Vie,” which won the prestigious prize for
