Gustav Lorentzen (28 September 1947 – 21 April 2010[1]), also known by his stage name Ludvigsen, was a Norwegian singer-songwriter,[2][3] best known from being half of the successful duo Knutsen & Ludvigsen, alongside Øystein "Knutsen" Dolmen. He went solo in 1986, winning four Spellemann awards and one nomination for his 5 albums.
In addition to music, Lorentzen made several TV series and books, mostly intended for children.[3] He also had a degree in acoustics from the Norwegian Institute of Technology.
From 1997 until his death, Lorentzen collaborated with the psychologist Magne Raundalen, creating a therapeutic program for traumatized children, mainly victims of wars.[2] He was also a UNICEF Ambassador since 1993.[3]
On 21 April 2010, Lorentzen collapsed during an orienteering competition outside of Bergen and went into cardiac arrest. He was pronounced dead a few minutes later.[1]
