"I came to tell you that I'm going" ... March 2, 1991, Serge Gainsbourg leaves this time without warning.
A heart attack, devastating, while he is at home, alone, in Paris.
"The Man with the Cabbage Head" is 62 years old.
It's the weekend of the end of the Gulf War.
The news falls on the night of Saturday to Sunday.
In the evening, in front of the house at 5 bis rue de Verneuil, Bambou, his last companion, was worried when he did not answer - no one has the keys when he dials - and alerted the emergency services.
We find him lying naked on the ground.
A shock but not a surprise as the author of
Je t'aime moi non plus
burned his life at both ends.
