Bertrand Lucien Bruno Cantat (French pronunciation: [bɛʁtʁɑ̃ lysjɛ̃ bʁyno kɑ̃ta], Occitan: [kanˈtat]; born 5 March 1964) is a French songwriter, singer, and musician known for being the former frontman of the rock band Noir Désir. He is also a convicted murderer. In 2003, he was proven guilty without a doubt and convicted of the murder ("murder with indirect intent" – dolus eventualis) of French actress Marie Trintignant, which occurred in a hotel room in Vilnius.[1] To some controversy, Cantat returned to Noir Désir after his release from prison in 2007, playing with the group until it disbanded in 2010.[2] He subsequently formed a musical duo with Pascal Humbert, calling themselves Détroit.
