Topics: Argentine musicians Italian-Argentines
Luca Prodan was an Italian-Argentine musician.
Born in Rome, he was the son of an Italian father and a Scottish mother. Prodan attended Gordonstoun School, a private boarding school in Scotland, and for some time drifted in Manchester and London. In 1981, after two of his friends died (one of them being Ian Curtis), he moved to Argentina seeking peace to try kicking his heroin addiction. He was able to give up his addiction to heroin, but developed a heavy alcohol dependency instead, which led him to death.
Prodan died either of a heart attack or cirrhosis of the liver in Buenos Aires shortly before Christmas 1987.
