This Heavy Metal Kids t shirt features an image of lead singer Gary Holton. Holton formed The Heavy Metal Kids in 1974, his energetic performances as frontman were full of attitude and made him something of a rock icon. His time with the band was short as he was sacked in 1975 for excessive drinking and outrageous behaviour. He briefly fronted The Damned on a Scottish tour as Dane Vanian was unwell. Holton is most famous for his acting work. He was a member of the RSC as a young man and after his music career began to fade, he went back to acting. He had a few minor roles (Minder, Quadrophenia) before landing his main role that would be the highlight of his career - as Wayne Winston Norris in Auf Wiedersehn Pet, which at its height commanded 14 million viewers. Holton was found dead at his home in 1985 from an overdose of drink and drugs. This is a 100% cotton Gary Holton t shirt.
