Nenad Radulović (Serbian Cyrillic: Ненад Радуловић; 13 September 1959 – 12 February 1990) was a Serbian rock musician, best known as the frontman of the Yugoslav pop rock band Poslednja Igra Leptira.
Biography
[edit]Radulović started his career as the singer and the leader of the pop rock band Poslednja Igra Leptira (Last Dance Of Butterfly) in 1979.[1] The band released well-accepted albums Napokon ploča (At Last, a Record; 1982), Ponovo ploča & druge priče (Another Record & Other Stories; 1983), Opet ploča – Srce od meda (Again, a Record – Heart Made of Honey; 1985), Grudi moje balkanske (My Balkan Heart; 1986) and Zajedno smo piškili u pesku (We Peed in the Sand Together; 1987) before disbanding in 1989.[1] During the same year, Radulović released his only solo album Niko nema što piton imade (Nobody Has what the Python Has), produced by Srđan Marjanović,[2] which parodied "Turbo-folk music".[1]
Death and legacy
[edit]
He started working on the new album, but managed to record only the song "Modra bajka" ("Blue Fairytale") before he died of testicular cancer on 12 February 1990.[1] When his brother asked him how he felt twenty minutes before he passed away, his last words are said to have been: "Well, it's not like I can play football now, but I'm good...". The song, Modra bajka, was released for the first time on the Poslednja Igra Leptira compilation album Modra bajka – Best of (1997).[1]
In December 2011, a plateau in Belgrade was named after Radulović.[3] In October 2012, a commemorative plaque in memory of Radulović was unveiled in Lajkovac.[4]
