Alain bashung is dead. For those who don't know him,he was certainly one of the last great singer.
One of the greatest song ever...

3 problems...
1) Never heard of him.
2 ) I don't speak French.
3) I tried to listen/watch it whilst listening to Still by The Sisters. Sisters wins.
Apologies.

I gotta concur with the guy in the post above...
A) He doesn't play for Everton F.C
B) He's not a woman with a history of sexual deviance .
C) He was not in the Ramones
D) His songs weren't in English.
So, I'm sad to say, that 'cos this man meets non of the above criteria, I'm obliged to admit that I'm just not that arsed. But I do feel a smidgen of sorrow ( only a smidgen mind) for your good self as he obviously meant a great deal to you.

I've never been an actual fan, but he was one of the good ones for sure. All you non French speakers don't know what you missed, but I can tell you that you did miss something. He was one of the very few convincing French rock and roll singers (don't get me started on Johnny Hallyday).
May he rest in peace.

Scary that. Apparently she seemed fine immediately after the accident, only later complaining of headaches. And then rapidly losing consciousness. From fine to dead in less than three days.

Just like Sandy Denny - only it was
hours in her case...
People really need to take falling on their heads a lot more seriously than they tend to do. One's skull survives the impact quite effectively, but the tissue it carries is fragile...
