According to Galician emergency services, the body of the 65-year-old guitarist was discovered on Thursday midday by walkers on rocks on Los Castros beach, in the town of Ribadeo. It was “in an easily accessible location, right next to the stairs leading to the beach,” they detail in a press release.
A spokesperson for the Civil Guard confirmed that the body found was that of Frank Darcel. He did not specify the cause of his death, which remains under investigation.
“Infinite sadness”
On Instagram, singer Pascal Obispo paid tribute on Saturday to the musician, with whom he collaborated on several occasions. “And now Frank… Infinite sadness,” he wrote under a black and white photo of the guitarist.
“My dear Frank, my friend”, reacted, also on Instagram, the singer Étienne Daho, close to Frank Darcel, who accompanied him on his first album in 1981 and even produced it in its early days. “Thousands of memories flood in and words cannot come to me to express this emptiness. Thank you for being in my life and changing it forever,” he continued.
Born in Côtes d’Armor in 1958, Frank Darcel founded the rock group Marquis de Sade with singer Philippe Pascal at the age of 19. He has worked with many French musicians, including Alan Stivell. This son of a doctor also became known for his novels, including “Vilaine Blessure”, “The Army of Free Men” and “The Drifter”, and for his political commitment in Brittany.
