The funeral service for the legendary French-Armenian crooner Charles Aznavour will be held on Friday, October 5, set to be attended by Armenian President Armen Sarkissian and Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

Aznavour will be buried in the commune of Montfort-l'Amaury, not far from Paris, according to his last will.
