Henri Paul Tortosa - R.I.P.

[South-Punk Admin]

Southend Punk was saddened to hear of the passing of Guitarist Henri Paul Tortosa, born November 6th, 1959 in Oran, Algeria and who was mainly based in Paris, France. Henri played with UK Punk band The Maniacs at the 2nd Mont de Marsan Punk Festival in France in 1977, and was a frequent Johnny Thunders collaborator, especially at the Gibus Club in Paris. He also played alongside Stiv Bators and Mink DeVille as well as creating the bands Les Intouchables, Cosa Nostra, Les Suricats, and The Mavericks.

He can also be seen in two Thunders-related movies, Born To Lose - The Last Rock 'N Roll Movie and Patrick Grandperret's Mona Et Moi
