Fans are remembering Kavinsky for the iconic ‘Nightcall’ opening to ‘Drive’

Fans have been remembering Kavinsky‘s hit song ‘Nightcall’ in the Ryan Gosling movie Drive, following the French DJ and electronic music star’s death. The musician, real name Vincent ‌Belorgey, was found in his home in Paris by authorities at around 10:30pm local time on Tuesday night (July 28). According to French news outlet Le Figaro, the discovery was made after a concerned neighbour reached out to emergency services and said that he had not seen the artist around the building for a few days. The newspaper reported that the cause of death was believed to be due to a stroke, and that in the days ahead of his passing, the artist told those close to him that he was struggling with severe headaches. He was aged 50. Following his death many fans have been remembering the opening to Nicolas Winding Refn’s neo-noir classic Drive, which features Kavinsky’s famous hit song. 'Nightcall' was & still is the most iconic synthwave song bar none, with no better showcase of it than the intro to 'Drive'. Often you can forget the impact of such special songs once they become so ubiquitous with respect to their genres, but this one never fades. RIP Kavinsky pic.twitter.com/q3ZsmQE90q — Will (...
