A controversial yet highly influential man who trailblazed the way into the 1980s and gave us one of the greatest singles of all time in Fade to Grey (Visage) and a number of clubs which I never had the good fortune to visit, but they looked amazing.

 

He not only enjoyed life to the full, but was a very open and honest character as can be observed in his brilliant autobiography 'Blitzed' a book well worth reading, showing how he was comfortable mixing with everyone from those who were friends of the royals to many ordinary people.

 

I remember a superb documentary a few years ago called 'Whatever happened to the Gender Benders' which covered all the new romantics, and hilst some like Boy George seemed to have weathered very well, sadly Steve was already showing signs of damage from his lifestyle, as was the singer Marilyn.

 

A sad loss to those of us who enjoyed the style, music and atmosphere of the early 80's, a very British celebrity who gave us something musicians from other countries could never come near to.

 

RIP Steve, many will shed a quiet tear for you.
