(Paris) Belgian singer Claude Barzotti, author of 1980s hit songs like The Rital Or Love medied at his home from cancer, his manager told AFP on Saturday.
The singer-songwriter with a slightly hoarse voice “died at 69 in his bed, surrounded by his two daughters”, in a town between Brussels and Charleroi, in Belgium, said Laurent Comtat.
“Barzotti preferred to be called a singer of emotion rather than a romantic. He was a lively flayed, a real sensitive, who drank to fight against his stage fright, ”he said.
“I am rital and I remain so”, also sang Barzotti in one of his successes The Rital, where the one who was born near Charleroi on July 23, 1953 evoked his origins. His father was an Italian miner.
