Edward Tudor-Pole Biography
The following biography
is from
Wikipedia.org
“The
Free Encyclopedia.”
Edward Tudor-Pole (born December 6,
1954) is a British singer and actor.
He came to prominence as a
replacement for Johnny Rotten in the Sex Pistols in 1978, though
he only sang "Who Killed Bambi?", "The Great Rock 'N' Roll
Swindle" and an unlikely cover version of "Rock Around The
Clock". He returned in 1980 as lead singer of his own band,
Tenpole Tudor, whose only UK Top 10 hit was "Swords Of A
Thousand Men". He later became a television presenter as host of
The Crystal Maze in the 1990s and is also an actor.
Probably best known for his
appearances in The Crystal Maze and on Top of the Pops,
Tudor-Pole has appeared in numerous films and plays, including
The Rocky Horror Show, The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle, White
Hunter, Black Heart with Clint Eastwood and numerous films by
Alex Cox including Sid and Nancy. Most recently he was seen in
The Life and Death of Peter Sellers as Spike Milligan.
His live acoustic shows tend to
attract both aging punks and new fans attracted by his TV and
film roles, and exhibit a mix of punk rock, country-western and
pure rock 'n' roll. Each of his tunes pays tribute to a variety
of stars. Standard punk anthems stand side by side with
influences as diverse as Status Quo, Freddie Mercury, Tammy
Wynette and Shakin' Stevens.
