Fig Tree Problem

Question

I have a fig tree. Last year I got a lot of fruit. This time when the summer started, I noticed a lot of black, burnt branches. From lower part of braches, the leaves start growing and the upper part of branches look very suspicious. In the beginning, I felt the tree was dying, but not. Many upper parts of branches are black and dead. I would like to know if this is common or some kind of disease of tree.
