I seem to remember he had a drug problem, years ago. some people live a long time, some not such a long time.

Anyone that says that the 'lifestyle of popstars' is not a factor needs to think again.

Saw them at Whitby in October....erm, no comment

I suspect he lead an 'interesting' life and it took its toll.

He sure was something though wasn't he? They were all embracing being themselves. Now they're all so samey.

one of the only famous people i have spoken to, and i didnt even know at first.. a mate was with me at a Depeche Mode concert years ago, while we were mulling round the beer/tshirt stalls, he grabbed my arm and said - 'thats steve strange!!' I said - you nut lol.. but he went off, and spoke to him, then they came over to me and we had a drink while just talking about DM.

He seemed like a nice fella when he was on some celebrity hairdressing show about 5 years back. But pretty clear from his slurred speech and manner that drugs had got the better of him down the years.

Music legend? Respect to those passed on but I think that's overplaying it a bit.

Very sad though
