Singer and actress Régina Zylberberg alias Régine died on Sunday May 1 at the age of 92. His funeral takes place this Monday, May 9 in Paris, as announced the day after his death by his granddaughter Daphné Rotcajg at Agence France-Presse. The ceremony is scheduled for 10 a.m. at the crematorium of the Père-Lachaise cemetery, Salle de la Coupole.
60s icon, Régine, nicknamed the queen of the night, had owned up to 22 discotheques that bore her first name all over the world, starting with the mythical “Chez Régine” near the Champs-Elysées, which quickly became the meeting place of the Tout-Paris and the jet-set. She was the one who had replaced the “jukeboxes” (automatic distributor of songs recorded on discs) by record players and disc jockeys instead of jukeboxes.
