Biografi

Stephen John Harrington (28 May 1959 – 12 February 2015), known professionally as Steve Strange, was a Welsh singer and nightclub host and promoter. Strange began his career in several short-lived punk bands of the late 1970s. Quickly becoming disaffected by the British punk scene, he became one of the most influential figures behind the New Romantic subcultural movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s, which spawned the Blitz Kids.

Strange was the lead vocalist of the new wave synth-pop group Visage, which had five top 30 songs on the UK singles chart between 1980 and 1982, including their highest charting single "Fade to Grey", which reached no. 8 in February 1981.

On 12 February 2015, Strange suffered a heart attack, at the age of 55, while in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt; he died later that day in hospital.
