French record boss dies, at 62
mainBernard Carbonez, former CEO of French BMG, has died, reportedly by his own hand, a day before his 63rd birthday. As well as steering the careers of Patrick Bruel and Roch Voisine, he was a judge on Belgium’s Pop Idol.
Just for the record the English for some reason always get it wrong when it concerns Belgium. He was a Judge on the FLEMISH (i.e. Dutch speaking) “Idool’ for the Flemish TV channel VTM, nothing “Belgian” about it….The French speaking part of Belgium (Wallonia in the south) have a French version of the programme.
