Quebec music legend Serge Fiori dies at 73

Serge Fiori, the Quebecois singer-songwriter and founding member of the iconic rock group Harmonium, passed away at his home in Saint-Henri-de-Taillon on June 24, 2025, at the age of 73.
Fiori, who was born in Montreal in 1952 to a father of Italian descent and a mother who spoke French, established the band Harmonium during the early 1970s alongside Michel Normandeau and Louis Valois.
Harmonium released three folk-rock albums between 1974 and 1976, including their self-titled debut with the classic song 'Pour un instant', which helped define Quebec's musical identity.
Premier François Legault acknowledged Fiori's impact in expanding the reach of rock music and elevating Quebec's musical presence internationally, while Parti Québécois leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon described him as "a true ambassador of Quebec culture," highlighting that his songs have endured for over five decades.
Fiori's death leaves a legacy marked by poetic, sensitive songs that touched multiple generations and will continue to resonate in Quebec and beyond.
