Fred Chichin, le guitariste du duo rock français Les Rita Mitsouko, est décédé, mercredi matin, à l'âge de 53 ans, des suites d'un cancer fulgurant, ont annoncé la maison de disques Because et l'organisateur de concerts Corida. Cette maladie a emporté le guitariste en deux mois, indique leur communiqué.

Les Rita Mitsouko, que Fred Chichin avait formés avec sa compagne, la chanteuse Catherine Ringer, en 1979, avaient dû annuler plusieurs concerts, ces jours derniers, en raison de l'état de santé du guitariste. Ils auraient dû notamment se produire, mercredi soir, à L'Olympia. Leur dernier album, Variety, était sorti en avril. Les Rita Mitsouko avaient été les auteurs de nombreux tubes dans les années 80, dont Marcia baila, Y a d'la haine, Andy, Les histoires d'A ou C'est comme ça.

Robert James Fischer

Bobby Fischer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Robert James "Bobby" Fischer (born March 9, 1943) is an Icelandian chess Grandmaster who became famous as a teenager for his chess-playing ability, and in 1972 became the only US-born chessplayer to become the official World Chess Champion. In 1975 he refused to defend the title when FIDE, the international chess federation, did not accept all his conditions for a title defense. He is a regular candidate in discussions of who is the greatest chess player of all time.

Fisher's 1972 match was Cold War battle

REYKJAVIK, Iceland - The historic chess match between American Bobby Fischer and Soviet champion Boris Spassky was the Cold War played out with pawns instead of missiles, a combat of mind games between two masters at the height of their powers.


Dubbed the Match of the Century and played in 1972 in the then-obscure Icelandic capital of Reykjavik, it made Fischer famous — and vice versa.
