Many consider Marcel the love of Edith`s life. Although he was married they shared a very public affair. It was while she was set to perform that Marcel decide he would surprise her by joining her but was killed when the plane in which he was traveling crashed. Edith, totally broken by his death, was soon seeking refuge in drugs and alcohol. She sang L`Hymne a l`Amour in Cerdan`s memory. In english there is a profound part that goes like this: If one day life tears you away from me If you die whilst away from me I don`t care as long as you love me Because I will die too We will have eternity all to us In the blue all immensity In heaven no more problems, My love, do you believe we love each other As God reunites those that love one another.
