Kavinsky's name is trending along with 'nightcall' and 'drive movie.' What's going on?

French DJ and producer Kavinsky (real name Vincent Belorgey) was found dead in his Paris home on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, at age 50. French prosecutors confirmed his death, and an official investigation into the cause was still underway as of initial reports, though a police source told the French newspaper Le Figaro that a stroke was the suspected cause — Kavinsky had reportedly been experiencing headaches in the days beforehand. He was best known for his 2010 track "Nightcall," which became widely recognized after appearing in the 2011 film "Drive," and he later performed a remix of the song at the closing ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics alongside Phoenix and Angèle. Tributes came from artists including The Weeknd (who collaborated with him on the track "Odd Look") and David Guetta, as well as French President Emmanuel Macron.
