To move from Wales and open a club in London (which people still talk about) at such a young age is a phenomenal achievement. I wish I had that sort of drive. He was obviously a lot tougher than he comes across as.
He was destroyed , trolleyed off because he was owed so much in royalties from compilations. I see he has a nose job here. How sad! Wonder who talked him into that.
Had the honour of knowing this man during the 80's, meeting at the Palace most weekends, and what a lovely man he was. Often listen to his music to this day, always will. Rest in peace dear Steve xxxxx
Steve Strange was a big influence on me in high school. I used to take cues from his fashions and sprinkle them into my own. I also had a bit of a crush on him.
At the end of that video the late great Steve Strange said he wanted to go down in the history books and most certainly will because no one will forget Fade To Gray as it is an 80s masterpiece. Rest in peace Mr Steve Strange and thank you VISAGE & STEVE STRANGE FOREVER
Steve Strange died way to young in my opinion. So sad that he had a though life after Visage peak years during the early 1980`s,. I first discovered Visages music for a couple of years ago and when I listed to their albums I knew that they were so underrated. Still to this day Visage have not got the honor that they deserve in my opinion.
I was a drug addict who used heroin and I live in s Wales and I got to know Steve strange through drugs and I used to drive him to get the drugs and we used to have some great conversations and he was a great man and it's such a crying shame we lost him.
I bet he was crying inside listening to Chalk Circle because he was once so very brilliant and had SO many amazing ideas of his own. Truly brilliant bloke!
Steve must've given up the idea of managing bands and dived back into his band VISAGE before he passed away. Thank God For That because his last albums "Hearts & Knives", "Orchestral", "Demons To Diamonds" and "Darkness To Diamond" are absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!
I agree. Just imagine these two albums released exactly 30 years before actual release dates. I feel sorry for Steve but I also feel glad because he made a hell of a comeback musically.
I didn't realise he had to claim benefits ud think the royaltyes of fade to grey would set him up it's a pop masterpiece I still listen to it every day rip Steve your music will never be forgotten 😢.
such a shame ... no one ever can say that addiction wont hit,,, we never know,,, our lives take a turn for better or worse and we never know itf this is going to be the trigger we never realised was waiting in the background for that match strike to hit
Life has it’s twists and turns, and teaches us all many lessons. Steve was so innovative and creative, and despite his weaknesses ( which we all have,) always had hope, and the desire to move forward. ( By the way, there was also a Canadian band called “Chalk Circle.”
Steve Strange was a very talented musician, but it was obvious the man had a lot of inner demons in his life, and drugs was a means of escape. RIP to him.
The video on somwone hit the chest of a man and his heart stops went truth ! The heart of stive strange was stoped when some ghost dit it the same, he saw the futhre ! He saw the future !!! Its paranormall !!!!
RIP Steve. You and your music left a huge impact on my generation.

So sad how his life ended. His music still gives me goosebumps even 40 years on. Free from your demons and at peace now, Steve x

Loved this song - timeless and the best synth song of the 80s that changed the face of music. God bless Steve Strange RIP
You jest surely.
You and your style were the reasons why I moved to UK in the 80's. Every time I hear the notes of "Fade To Grey" I get goosebumps. RIP M8
Poor Steve he was such a nice guy l did know him personally RIP Mr Strange

Loved and missed everyday xxxx
Absolutely loved the way he said ‘Steve Strange’ with such a straight face to the job clerk who asked ‘what’s your name’?
3:52 he was spot on .. RIP Steve ❤💛💗💚🧡💜💙

Drugs ruin everything. He was so brilliant. The pride of Wales.
Yeah majorly slowed down his speech and brain.
Not everything. Almost all singers are way better high, before they endure success and do humanitarian s..t.
I was a drug addict who used heroin and I live in s Wales and I got to know Steve strange through drugs and I used to drive him to get the drugs and we used to have some great conversations and he was a great man and it's such a crying shame we lost him.
Drugs play their place.
Absolutely brilliant ❤ fade to grey such a shame about his death sadly 😥 missed ..but never forgotten..r.i.p steve
I bet he was crying inside listening to Chalk Circle because he was once so very brilliant and had SO many amazing ideas of his own. Truly brilliant bloke!
RIP Steve - you were adorable xxx
What a lovely talented man! He was amazing! RIP dear Steve
I'm so glad that Steve was able to (somewhat recently) put-out a final album. And to feel his resurgence again!~ RIP
I'm pleased he made a comeback and was touring again before his untimely death.
yes he did good farewall
Because of this guy I wore mad clothes in the ‘80!!! Legend!!
I’m British Indian first generation because of Steve and David Sylvian I wore frilly shirts make up and my son who is now 33 is called Sylvian
What about RUSTY? cant figure him out...whats eating him?
Legends never die shine in heaven you always shined on earth our hearts forever diamonds are forever xxx
He’s been gone 8yrs now 😢💔
A true icon rest in peace Steve thank you for the music and the memories
Nothing lasts forever
that's a lesson learned in life, so true.
Sa musique et bien d'autres a soutenu mon adolescence....que de souvenirs pour moi qui a maintenant 6x ans
Showing him doing paperwork with State Benefits office is terrible.
Steve must've given up the idea of managing bands and dived back into his band VISAGE before he passed away. Thank God For That because his last albums "Hearts & Knives", "Orchestral", "Demons To Diamonds" and "Darkness To Diamond" are absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!

the original. What an amazing guy influenced my life in such a profound way I love this man
Steve Strange is the father of the New Romantic movement...Culture Club, Spandau and Duran Duran owe a huge debt to him
l cant belive you was from the same home town as me l realy loved all your hits back in the 80s rip 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
R.I.P. Steve Strange
When Steve received his first pay of 250,000 pounds...in the 1980's ....that was A LOT of money!!
Should have invested it not spunk it
Steve was a victim of his own sucess.he did,literally 'fade to grey' RIP,dude.
Ita amazing the lyrics of Fade To Grey showed Steve's demise ,such a talented pro former RIP Steve
I didn't realise he had to claim benefits ud think the royaltyes of fade to grey would set him up it's a pop masterpiece I still listen to it every day rip Steve your music will never be forgotten 😢.

Legend.....and missed
such a shame ... no one ever can say that addiction wont hit,,, we never know,,, our lives take a turn for better or worse and we never know itf this is going to be the trigger we never realised was waiting in the background for that match strike to hit
Chalk Circle, Canadian group from the 80's.
The Anvil (Der Amboss) is the best one of Visage.
Not at all what I expected, he seems like a perfectly ordinary bloke when he's not performing.
Where were his wealthy friends when he needed them?
They're never there when you need them...
One of the Greatest 🎹👑👑👑

good for him.....respect
It was a sad loss when he passed 🙁
Have not seen this before. Thank you for sharing. :)
With or without makeup, he had an interesting face and I’d wondered if he’d have done well as an actor.
He was still a very good looking man even after years of drug abuse
Visage would not exist if it wasn’t for Midge Ure, Rusty Egan and Billy Currie…
this band was not canadian the singer was welsh he was from the same home town as me rip steve loved all your hits back you the god bless you 😘😘😘😘😘
Wow he was up there and hit bottom.
Fade to Grey is a masterpiece. So much talent got wasted.
Stood next to him when i was a kid in currys bridgend haha
What year would that have been??
@@theculturedthug6609 i was a kid when i seen him im late 20s now so.not sure mate
Weird that he ended like this !?
I am from Bridgend.
Sheep shagger....🤣
GRANDE
Him and Willie Wigwam were big in the 80's
He was on state benefits? Where were Boy George, Spandau Ballet and the rest of them to help him??
❤❤❤❤
I DJed at his 30th
RIP
He is broken to pieces, dont be like him.
Poor guy is still messed up, you can see it in him.
He's dead dude ...HEART ATTACK
Had more fun than you probably
This is my video short of my visit to his grave today. RIP: th-cam.com/users/shortsWaA2_oNA4D4?feature=share
here here to that
*hear hear*
@@mjh5437 I didnt know he was from Wales
He looked good but his movements show how damaged his body was.
Did he really fire Boy George from the Blitz Club?
Think he accused him of stealing
@@zeddeka Yes, and BG admitted it
Very strange
I thought he was nice looking without all that makeup on.Shame he's not with us anymore.😇
Who is here from the Violet Chachki's 2022 cover of Fade to Grey?
th-cam.com/video/DZfIOKEaYH0/w-d-xo.html
he looks a tiny bit like a younger Mike Oldfield in this interview. Not the style, just the face itself. Probably just a British thing :)
It's a smack thing he's got the classic 'I've been doing heroin for years face' all pasty and sweaty.
How old was this?
I remember taping this off the TV in 2000 I think. Possibly 2001.
Seems demons like residing in artistic people. Probably a fun place to hang out .. for the demons that is.
ma come è morto?
What a shame
Does this happen with all one hit wonders?
had few hits in top 20 not one hit wonder i think :S
It was funny when he got nicked for shoplifting a doll😂😂😂😂😂
Hi my name is Steve and I'm strange and now I'm dead also.
The video on somwone hit the chest of a man and his heart stops went truth ! The heart of stive strange was stoped when some ghost dit it the same, he saw the futhre ! He saw the future !!! Its paranormall !!!!
Jojo reference
Sat next to him in a Bowie concert. Seriously brain damaged
Poor man’s Bowie.
1 hit wonder
5 singles in the uk top twenty in the space of two years isn’t really a one hit wonder
A poser till the end at the unemployment office. What's your name? Steve Strange. His name was actually Steven John Harrington and now he's dead.
FILM LOCATION and what people know you for? Poor idiot
Yes, that was an embarrassing bit. But that's what he was, so...
and what people know you for? Poor idiot
