I don't know whether anyone here follows the amazing French version of Fame Academy (if only the BBC had seen it they might have realised where they went wrong) but sadly the winner of the 2004 series, Gregory Lemarchal, died on Monday from cystic fibrosis. He was just 23 years old.

It's been in the headlines all week here in France, it's quite extraordinary actually. And they're doing a Star Ac telethon special tonight on TF1 to raise money to fight cystic fibrosis. Such a terrible illness.

I heard about this from my cousins in France.

Very sad.

The thing about his victory is that there were very little cries of "the sympathy vote" at the time. The guy clearly had a beautiful voice, gorgeous looks, stage presence and an engaging personality. True star quality

A great shame. Gone far too soon.

I heard his song "De Temps en temps" playing on TV, and loved it so much and decided to find out what other stuff he had sang only to find out that he died.

I love the duet he did with Lucie Silvas
