Steve Strange

[jayonabike]

I was a teenage new romantic and loved Visage. Sad news.

The Visage album, The Anvil, was one of the first albums I bought, at the tender age of 8. Three quid from John Menzies. Still remains one of my favourite albums to this day.

Very sad news.

He was a nice guy, I picked him up a few times in my cabbing days, from Browns Night Club in Gt Queen St. Back then he seemed to live life to the full.

I was a full on Northern Souler when all this make up and long girly hair craze started lol..
But I did like the music.
55 is an early check out.

I recently bought fade to grey the best of 80s too

Not my type of music, but sad to hear. At 55 he was obviously in my school year. Makes you think!

Anybody else remember his 'Moors Murderers' stunt with Chrissie Hynde?

Is it coincidence that in the week that "50 Shades of Grey" is released, he fades away?

This is a decent article, which acknowledges his role and influence

I worked with steve strange on 2 gigs at the box in crew, he was very shy when meeting people for the first time , his lifestyle had taken a toll on him but he was happy enough, its a sad loss
