While they were at the height of their fame, they decided to separate in 2001 to devote themselves to solo projects. If Adel Kachermi has chosen to return to the shadows to retrain in luxury events for companies, Frank Delay and Filip Nikolic are launching into comedy. But the latter died in 2009 from an overdose of sleeping pills when he was barely 35 years old.
