Claudine Longet: singer’s rise shadowed by a 1976 fatal shooting

Claudine Longet, the French singer, died at 84; in 1976 she shot her Olympic skier boyfriend Vladimir 'Spider' Sabich in their Aspen home and claimed the gun went off accidentally. A jury convicted her of negligent homicide, handing down two years’ probation, a $250 fine and 30 days in jail served at her choosing; the case ended her entertainment career and drew worldwide attention, spawning pop-culture jibes from SNL and a Rolling Stones song. Sabich’s family sued for $1.3 million, and Longet later married her defense attorney as she faded from the public eye.

Authorities planned for about 260,000 fans to attend BTS’s first full-group show in four years at Gwanghwamun Square, livestreamed by Netflix, but turnout appeared far lower with figures ranging from around 48,000 (Seoul city) to 104,000 (Hybe), depending on counting methods and included sites; the gap has sparked debate over crowd estimates and whether public resources were justified for a private event, as businesses reported slower foot traffic and officials defended extensive security measures.
