RIP Poly Styrene
Punk icon Poly Styrene has died after a battle with cancer. She was 53.
So sad. I have her "Translucence album" on my ipod and iPad and, after 30 years, I still listen to it when I want a laid-back whimsical, sweet sound. |

Don't know anything about her, but always appreciative of the music/creative pioneers.

RIP Poly Styrene!
Germ Free Adolescent is one of my favourite songs of all time - such a unique voice. |

Never heard of the singer. Only Poly Styrene I know is the packing material or is it the plastic that bottles are made of?

A truly peaceful, loving and gentle person with the fierceness to fight for all of them.
Ironic she went via cancer, as her adopted name and that of her band were a reaction to the chemically sterilized and chemically polluted modern environment. RIP Poly |

Just stumbled across this thread. I didn't even know she had died. I was also a big fan, and still listen to Germ Free Adolescent from time to time. I saw her being interviewed in a punk retrospective on Sky only a few weeks ago - what a shame.
