Aznavour was married three times: to Micheline Rugel (in 1946),<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002198/bio|title=Biography for Charles Aznavour|publisher=imdb.com|access-date=29 January 2013}}</ref> Evelyn Plessis (in 1954) and his widow, Ulla Thorsell (in 1966).

Aznavour often joked about his physique, the most talked-about aspect of which was his height; he stood {{convert|160|cm|ftin|0|abbr=on}} tall. He made this a source of self-deprecating humour over the years.<ref name="encyclopedia" />

In April 2018, shortly before his 94th birthday, Aznavour was taken to hospital in [[Saint Petersburg]] after straining his back during a rehearsal prior to a concert in the city. The concert was postponed until the following season, but eventually cancelled since he died six months later.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://asbarez.com/171907/charles-aznavour-hospitalized-in-st-petersburg/|title=Charles Aznavour Hospitalized in St. Petersburg – Asbarez.com|website=asbarez.com|access-date=5 May 2018|date=25 April 2018}}</ref> On 5 May 2018, he was a guest on BBC Radio 2's ''[[Graham Norton#Radio|Graham Norton]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b196f5|title=With Pam Ayres, Charles Aznavour, plus Rylan Clark-Neal and Scott Mills, Graham Norton – BBC Radio 2|website=BBC|access-date=5 May 2018}}</ref>

A week later, on 12 May, he broke his arm in two places in a fall at his home in the village of [[Mouriès]], resulting in the cancellation of all shows until the end of June. This was eventually extended to include the 18 shows scheduled for August, because of a longer healing process.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hollywood.com/general/charles-aznavour-cancels-more-appearances-due-to-broken-arm-60724248/|title=Charles Aznavour cancels more appearances due to broken arm|website=hollywood.com|access-date=2 October 2018|date=18 June 2018}}</ref> In a program on French television broadcast on 28 September, only three days before his death, he mentioned that he was still feeling the pain.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yO3VdHuop50 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/yO3VdHuop50| archive-date=2021-12-11 |url-status=live|title=Aznavour: le monument français! – C à Vous – 28/09/2018|website=YouTube|date=28 September 2018|access-date=2 October 2018}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
