We're sad to report that punk siren Poly Styrene passed away yesterday, April 25th, due to cancer. A final twitter update from Styrene's team reads: "We can confirm that the beautiful Poly Styrene, who has been a true fighter, won her battle on Monday evening to go to higher places."
Born as Marianne Elliot-Said, she formed the seminal X-Ray Spex 1976, and was responsible for the punk-feminist anthem "Oh Bondage Up Yours!," influencing generations of punk to come. --Ric Leichtung, Altered Zones
