Marc Bolan - a twentieth century boy
It’s 25 years since Glam Rocker Marc Bolan died when the car he was travelling in crashed into a tree on London’s Barnes Common, killing him outright and securing icon status for one of pop’s most unlikely stars.
Aged only 29 when he died on September 16, 1977, the man whose life’s ambition was to be a star is still remembered a quarter of a century later for his influence on the music world and for his enduringly popular songs.
