The world of music is in mourning after the disappearance of Claude Barzotti. Saturday June 24, the manager of the Belgian singer of Italian origin announced his death at the age of 69 following cancer. It is “in his bed, surrounded by his two daughters”that the artist breathed his last at home in Belgium, says his manager. “Barzotti preferred to be called a singer of emotion rather than a romantic. He was a lively flayed man, a real sensitive, who drank to fight against his stage fright”he specified.
After a timid breakthrough in 1975, Claude Barzotti had his first successes with his song Madamin 1981, but especially with The Rital, a song in which he recounted his Italian origins and his childhood in a village in the Apennines before settling permanently in Belgium at the age of 18. The following year he enjoyed further success with I won’t write to you anymore.
