Born in Paris on 25 March 1961, Gilles Bertin moved to Bordeaux with his parents as a teenager. In Bordeaux, he founded the punk band Camera Silens as a bassist and a singer. The band enjoyed significant success in the French punk rock scene. After he became a drug addict and tested seropositive, he fell into delinquency.
On 27 April 1988, Bertin participated in a robbery on the Toulouse department of Brink's along with a dozen other robbers, after two years of preparation. The group stole 11,571,316 francs, despite never firing a shot. To this day, most of the loot has never been found. After police launched "Operation Sangria", all participants of the robbery were arrested within two years, except for Bertin. He fled to Spain, and then later, Portugal while running a record shop dedicated to alternative rock. In 1995, Bertin fell ill with AIDS, but survived thanks to tritherapy. In 2000, he returned to Barcelona and worked in a bar owned by his family while living under several identities.
On 26 November 2016, Bertin returned to France to face justice. His trial began on 6 June 2018, and he faced 20 years imprisonment. However, Bertin was only sentenced to five years with suspension, after the prosecution cited "good conduct."
In February 2019, Bertin published an autiobiography, titled Trente ans de cavale, ma vie de punk with the publisher Éditions Robert Laffont.
On 7 November 2019, Gilles Bertin succumbed to AIDS after spending several weeks in a coma. He was 58.

Sprig Acacia
너 지금 장난치는구나
시간이 헛되이 흘러가죠.
흑심을 품다
너는 정말 지긋지
그 끝없는 나날들 속에서
너의 운명은 거기서 끝나지 않는다
왜냐하면 오늘과 내일 모두
언제나 같은 후렴구...
사실, 심지어 합창과 단막까지
언제나 현실은
... 방법을 알잖아
난국을 타개하기 위해서
이것은 불안 예방주사입니다.
널 기다리고 있어
약간의 유예기간 동안
정맥을 줘봐 그러면 끝이야
너는 그 여자가 돌아오기를 기다리고 있다
그리고 이것은 여전히
네 정맥을 줘봐 그리고 그게 걱정이야
같은 이야기죠.
끝없는 날
안개예요, 불확실해요.
T'es là à te branler
et le temps passe en vain
A t'imbiber de noirs desseins
T'es là à poireauter
dans ces journées sans fin
A digérer là ton destin
Car aujourd'hui comme demain
Toujours le même refrain...
La réalité, même refrain et même couplet
Toujours la réalité
... Tu connais le moyen
De sortir de l'impasse
C'est le vaccin contre l'angoisse
Elle est là qui t'attend
Pour un peu de sursis
Donnes lui ta veine et c'est fini
Tu attends qu'elle revienne
Et c'est encore l'impasse
Donnes lui ta veine et c'est l'angoisse
Encore la même histoire.
Dans une journée sans fin
C'est le brouillard c'est l'incertain.
Jean-francois Raze
Un des meilleurs groupes de Rock français de cette époque, avec La Souris Déglinguée. Par contre au destin beaucoup plus tragique...
lukas LP
Il a maintenant la liberté et la paix, le pardon et la joie qu'ils chercher depuis plus de 30 ans...
Repose en paix Gilles....
