I've just learnt that Fred Chichin, 53, passed away. Very sad news. For the non-french readers, he is one half of the Rita Mitsouko band (the other half being Catherine Ringer). The Rita M. is certainly one of the most inventive and crazy french band over the last 2 decades, a real UMO (Unidentified Musical Object). The duo is (was, I guess) composed of the extravagantissima singer Catherine Ringer and an extremely self-controlled guitarist, Fred. Believe it or not, such an unlikely duo was a couple even outta stage!
I can't resist to post below the tubest "Marcia Baila", which made the band that famous in France. It's about a girl who died of cancer, just like Fred did. The chorus says: "It is is death who murdered you, Marcia".
