English - Musician | August 5, 1959 - October 23, 2016

I never had posters on my walls, and I didn't have any icons, either. I come from a small village in Wirral, and my family didn't watch TV. I wasn't exposed to people with icon status. David Bowie popped up, but I had already shaved my eyebrows off by the time I saw his.

The last time I touched a computer was in 2001, and my phone is too old to use the Internet. I just don't enter into it at all on any level.

I had piercings all over my face, which did look dreadful, but I got them done while waiting for my husband Michael to get a tattoo. I was bored.

In 1997, a severe depression hit me, but I didn't respond well to anti-depressants.
