A famous belgian, Josette Baujot, has died, on August 13.

 

So probably not that famous then.

 

She was an artist/colourist and was apparently responsible for developing the "colour code" for many Tin Tin books.

Her Partner Joseph Loeckx, also a comic book artist who worked under the pseudonym of Jo-El Azara has died 85. Obit (In French.)

Peter Renkens of the Belgian band Confetti's, who had some European success in the late 1980s, reportedly dead: 

C Day (Bel #2; Ned #8; Fra #5, 1989) - Renkens is in the Mountie uniform.

 

Can anyone else hear Heart Of Glass in this? Anyhoo.

Lou Deprijck (the prick??) has died at 77:

Belgian musician best known (to me) as co-writer and voice of cult hit "Ca plane pour moi":

 

 As an English speaker, that song is hands-down the hardest song I have ever karaoked. It’s also a lot of fun trying. I didn’t realise PB did a Milli Vanilli on it, though.
