Hi Tanya, what a lovely thing to say, maybe reschedule for another time. Your brother changed the music schene for thousands of us, and because he was so different and one of a kind, we got to experiment with and bring out our artistic side. He was such a beautiful soul and will never be forgotten X❤️
@@harryseddon776 The 70's all the way from beginning to end never missed a beat for music. But i also love the 1980's for music. 80's bands moved things more forward into different sound textures due to the electronics with the synthesizer and programming which helped broaden horizons. The 70's is a very interesting decade for music. I think most people who prefer the 80's is because there was a lot of depression in previous times looking at ways to escape it through their own music. But most look back at the 70's stuff today and remind themselves that there was some amazing bands at the time who they were definitely influenced by. People like marc bolan, david bowie, roxy music, brian eno, the talking heads just to name a few, were massively influential.
@@toddblanks , I do believe Queen was influenced by Sweet, on some of their songs I hear Sweets singing techniques and lyrics scattered about. Sweet was one of the most underrated bands of the 70's but their music was fantastic.
I love ultravox and especially their earlier albums with john foxx on vocals. The 1980 visage debut album with fade to grey featuring midge ure is a complete classic.
I think it always will be brilliant. It is something Steve created which is pure art and lives outside of time. Just class. That is why it still sounds just as fresh today.
You pronounce Porthcawl spot on Paul. ❤ xx The wreath with the red ribbon was placed by me at Christmas. The flowers in the bunch on the right I placed on the anniversary of his passing. I do this on behalf of the fans. X ❤
My Teenage years where in the 1980s , and Steve Strange was My Favourite. Fade to Grey, and Damned dont Cry are Sureal , Beautiful, other Worldly Songs. Steves Music was the Best , by a long Shot in 1980s , it brought a Bang to the New Romantics. So glad we had him in are lifes. I just watched the Scissorhands, Children and need Show , what a Charming, Funny , and great worker Steve was , i see why Lee made him Manager , he made the Tv Show. Steve was So Funny , Extremely Charismatic, intelligent, great Conversationalist, incredible business man , and so Sweet and Kind.oh and a brilliant Performer. There will never be another Steve Strange. Sleep Sweetly dear Steve . ❤🌻🌠
As a kid I would sit alone listening to Visage. I never grew out of the new romantic movement, so would often be bullied when music and fashion moved on. I went to Steve’s 50th birthday party and a few of his events in the mid 2000s. I went alone to his funeral, a 500 mile round-trip. I stood in the rain for two hours waiting. I was interviewed by the Sun, newspaper, heart, radio, and local papers in Radio due to the way I was dressed. The BBC and Boy George tweeted pictures of the wreath I had sent with our picture on. I send a wreath every year to his sister for the grave. I am still so upset that I have never managed to get there myself, so thank you for posting this. Last tune, I represented and led the new romantic, 1980s section of the Queen’s platinum jubilee parade through London. I did it for him. I still cry every time I hear fade to Grey. He was such a pioneer and leader of the 80s music and fashion movement. I will never get over his loss and have a tattoo of the fade to Grey single cover on my arm.
I'm typing this as I stand by Steve's headstone. It's a beautiful summer morning, there are Wrens singing all around on the tops of their voices, I'm sure Steve will be listening from the next part of his journey. Awesome guy
He was my hero and I loved him ❤he had a great voice and until today, it gives no other artist with so many different faces 👌🏽💪🏾he is the king of the 80es for me ❤
I was at Visage concerts in the early 80s.....he was brilliant. If anyone's seen the video for David Bowies Ashes to Ashes, Steve is one of the people in the video.....before he hit the big time.
I thought Steve Strange was the coolest guy ever when I was growing up. I'm glad his grave looks like it's visited regularly. R.I.P. Steve Strange. Thanks Paul.
What a deeply moving visit to the grave of this wonderful human being. I cannot remember anyone ever having had a bad word to say about him. God bless Steve Strange. ❤
I've heard of Visage, heard of Steve Strange but didn't know he'd passed. I think his influence helped make the new romantic fashion styles attractive and available to ordinary people, a bit like the mods in the 1960s. He's left a proud and worthy legacy.
How many people will go straight to utube & watch Visage "Fade to Grey" after watching Paul's video??!!...I certainly will,i remember the song when first released like yesterday.. Absolute classic tune... Thank's Paul...R.i.p Steve Strange...
You said porthcawl right Paul. Wish I knew you were here, would of come & said hi. I’m literally 10mins away in Bridgend. ❤ Steve Strange is an absolute legend ❤
I absolutely loved Steve, being a part of the New Romantic scene back in the day,, they were AMAZING times,, the music, clothes, make up,, never to be seen or experienced again...
I'm from Ohio. I'm 52 yrs old, so I grew up in the 80s. I miss the early 80s music. I miss Steve Strange. He was gorgeous and talented. Unfortunately I never saw him in concert. Never met him. God bless him. I bet he's doing something spectacular in Heaven right now. I hope to meet him one day. 🌌
Hi Paul, when I saw this video it kicked me back , Fade to Grey was my first single i have ever bought. I was a big fan of the new Romantik movement , now I’m 55 and still listen to that music. Thank you for another great video . Greetings from Germany 🙋♀️
Love him..along with Bowie… I had no idea they were connected… a big loss and never forgotten.. I think I’ll pay a visit…I love the way they opted into another world…brilliant, Thankyou 🙏🏻
Beautiful gravestone didn’t think I kne much about him but when listening to his music I remember his music well took me back to the 80s well done Paul and thankyou 😊💕
Got to know Steve really well when we both lived in Eltham south East London absolute brilliant bloke great sense of humour we had some laughs used to go to he's club the emporium greatly missed
Very interesting and respectful video. Steve had a long standing drug addiction going back to his early twenties and although he may have finally beaten it , it took its toll on his mental and physical health. That plus money troubles was part of why he ended up living with his sister and her family.I also believe he had some kind of stroke several years before he passed away. I remember a friend of mine, who is sadly no longer with us, telling me that when he worked in a record shop in London in the 1980s, Steve was banned from coming in because of his previous behaviour (probably due to the drugs). And as every Bowie fan knows, Steve was in the video for Bowie's 1980 song 'Ashes to ashes ' (filmed in Scarborough I think). Anyway, Fade to grey is a brilliant record and one of the seminal tracks of the early 1980s. A haunting song from a unique artist.
Loved Visage. Fade to Grey is one of my top 5 new romantic tunes. Steve was funny on that hairdressing programme. I didn’t realise it was 8 year since he passed. Time is flying. 😢
Fitting tribute as all your film are. Brilliant decade the 80's Fade to grey is and will always be an anthem, still as haunting as it was when I first heard it in the Limit club Sheffield .
Another fine tribute ,Paul , although I stopped buying records ..yes ,records in the late 1970's , so this was a bit of an education as well . I often heard fade to grey on many a NAFFI jukebox . So sad that he left the train of life a few stations too early . RIP ,Steve .
Thank you so much for this video, out of all of the '80s music stars, Steve is one of my favorites. As a teenager in the early 80's growing up in a small farm town in the middle of nowhere in America, when I discovered Steve Strange and Visage, my life changed. I felt like I found 'My Tribe'. In 1985 when I ran away from home at age 17, the music of Visage was my constant companion, something about the music and him inspired me so much and helped give me courage live life fearlessly and see the wonder and beauty in it. A song he released in 1984 *'Casualty'* really spoke to me: *_At 17 you're in a world of your own_* *_You think that no-one quite understands_* *_Your mother is telling you to stay at home_* *_Your father has quite different plans_* *_You've packed your bags and you're ready to leave_* *_Like so many times before_* *_You leave the envelope on the kitchen table_* *_As you turn the key of the door_* Seeing his tombstone is so sobering, its such a unique, un-nameable feeling. Steve Strange We Love You 🙏
Steve Strange was a great eccentric, his smiley face was a breath of fresh air compared to the moody looks of the time 😊 The good old British weather makes us say ‘filled with rain like an English summer’ countless times every year. My kids know his music and say it as well. Thanks for showing us Steve’s final resting place x
Brilliant musician was Steve. His tunes were brilliant. Nice to see by his well kept grave that he hasn't been forgotten, Great headstone too. R.I.P SS. Thanx for this one Paul, Brilliant 👏.
Thanks for the lovely tribute to an icon and he sounded a genuine person, loved fade to grey, would dance all night to the New Romantic music back in the fabulous 80s🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Paul for another respectful video.... I was lucky enough to meet Steve a few times in the 80s, he sometimes guest dj at a club in Southend, I have his autograph as well.... Top guy, really lovely, always chatted and had a giggle with us 🙏 x
Another lovely tribute Paul.. visage were very good...I admired Steve strange because he just did what he wanted...still got visage album..not forgetting 'mind of a toy...-thats a brilliant song 👌 what a beautiful final resting place and the grave is wonderfully tended too...cheers again Paul..hammergazz 👍
Living in New Zealand I haven't got to visit these Graves of these wonderful people so it's awesome to visit them with you. I cried when you visited Robin Gibbs grave and talked about Maurice and Andy. Thank-you ❤
Another excellent summary and presentation of the life and sad passing of a true entertainer, thank you and will look forward to more in the future, perhaps international resting places such as John Lennon?
Great era. So nostalgic all that period was an immense change in music and fashion. I loved buying all my gear in Carnaby street. Going see bands such as Japan, Ultravox, Numan and dressing up was all part of such epic sounds. Still play all those tunes such as the Human league etc. The Blitz I was never in, but it was quite a time looking back.
A great, informative video. I feel privileged to have known Steve for a number of years. I was an extra in the Ashes to Ashes filming you mention, as well as having attended the one off Blitz Revisited club night at the site of the old Blitz club with Rusty Egan, Princess Julia and Martin Kemp amongst others. For the past 27 years I have been involved in Electric Dreams club in London, which honours the New Romantics, Synth Pop and New Wave scenes. Steve even came along one night to visit us at Gossips which was an honour. Both Steve and Rusty gave us their very own stamp of approval for our club. (Rusty took up our offer to DJ on one occasion). Our club started by sheer coincidence at Gossips, Meard Street, Soho - the very same site where Billy's Club was, and where the New Romantic movement was founded. My experiences with Steve were always enjoyable and very memorable. I always look back with very fond memories of our time together, albeit as brief as it was, and very sadly cut short by his untimely death. I will never forget him and it always raises a smile when I hear Visage music played either at our club or elsewhere.
@@UnusualThings1 A pleasure. I was also looking at some of your other great videos with interest. For example, I was devastated by Melanie Appleby's death at such a young age. You are always welcome as our VIP at Electric Dreams (The Water Rats/The Cannick Tapps).
Wonderful Respectful tribute to Steve Strange .He was such a talented fascinating and brilliant performer . Its a tragedy we lost Steve at such a young age the world of music was a much better place with Steve in it .thank you for the music you left us .Forever RIP Steve ..
Thank you for this! I’m a massive fan of the New Romantic movement and of course the great man himself.. ‘fade to grey’ has been requested at my own funeral by myself when the time comes..absolutely iconic tune! Sleep well Steve..RIP
A fellow Welsh person like myself ,I loved Steve . Way ahead of his time .A Lovely ,kind and funny person. Steve = Colled mawr .A huge loss . Caru ti a nos da . Love you and good night xxxx Thank you so much ,Paul xxxx
I’ve just watched Steve’s interview on Loose Women and I have to say, he was a beautiful soul, so caring and genuine. Rest well with the angels Steve, I hope you’re singing Fade to Grey up there ❤
I was in my 20s all through the 80s big ultravox fan my wife and I where New Romantics Steve’s music played a pig part of our life 👏 they where amazing times thanks Paul a real good vid 👏👏👏👏👍🏴🏴
GREAT VIDEO PAUL, Thank you for remembering this iconic legend.. I went to his MEMORIAL Concert which remembered his incredible life..a very emotional yet uplifting evening celebrating a trully wonderful era defining man..
Hello Paul,that was a good one,70s,80s,90s were the best decades for music easily,they just seemed to be carefree,Steve Strange a massive part of peoples lives,as always,i found out things i didnt know about him,RIP Steve Strange
Oh my. I was born early 70s, but I remember Steve strange well. Loved Visage growing up, I was very jealous that men could do their make up better than me!! Loved watching Steve in Celebrity Scissorhands, the pure love Lee Stafford had for him was lovely to watch. If you ever come down to my neck of the woods, I'd love to go celebrity grave hunting with you Paul.
Thank you so much, I'm Steve's sister Tanya, we could of met for a coffee
Ahh Tanya, I wish I would have known. I hope I did him and you proud x
Ha, I said that too Tanya. Gutted we missed Paul’s visit. Glad I messaged you in tine to see the video Tanya. 😘 x
Ill try and head that way in the future on my travels and I’ll stop for a coffee with you both 🙏
@@UnusualThings1 that would be lovely. You’ll have a warm welcome. 🏴 xx

I cried when I saw Steve’s grave. I love new romantic and Visage music. It's a pity that Steve is no longer among us. Rest in peace.
80s is and still is best decade for music 💯🙏
Agree 100 per cent ❤
Spot on mate couldn't agree💯 more and I'm a 70s lad 😃😄😁

Fade to grey NEVER gets old. Absolute 💯masterpiece.

"Absolutely!!!"👍👍👍👍👍

I do have David Bowie Ashes to Ashes Vinyl 12inch version.
@Brendan MCcaighey ahhhhh but unfortunately you'll not see him playing the vinyl lol
As a Depeche mode fan for over 40 years,i have to say that Fade to grey is a complete anthem for the eighties.
I thought Steve Strange was the coolest guy ever when I was growing up. I'm glad his grave looks like it's visited regularly. R.I.P. Steve Strange. Thanks Paul.
It's nice to see tributes on Steve's grave. May he never be forgotten.

This was when men weren't scared of being out there. Superb track fade to grey fabulous era x
The 80s was such a colourful decade. A bit wild but memorable. I was a student then and it is the music of that era I remember.
I love 80s music 🎶 i was only young but grew up with such cool music.
The 80s was the best!!!!!💕
I absolutely loved Steve, being a part of the New Romantic scene back in the day,, they were AMAZING times,, the music, clothes, make up,, never to be seen or experienced again...

It is still our deepest piece, Fade To Grey by romantic New
Wave maestro, Steve Strange! Requiescat in Pace. Amazing fellow
Love him..along with Bowie… I had no idea they were connected… a big loss and never forgotten.. I think I’ll pay a visit…I love the way they opted into another world…brilliant, Thankyou 🙏🏻
What a beautiful headstone i would love to visit this Cemetery miss Steve so much.

Got to know Steve really well when we both lived in Eltham south East London absolute brilliant bloke great sense of humour we had some laughs used to go to he's club the emporium greatly missed
Yes one of my favourite songs of all time
One of the most well kept celeb graves. Great headstone. Lovingly kept. Great era for music.
I loved Visage, still listen to Fade to Grey. Rest in peace Steve, a true innovator ❤
Wow this is so cool his sister saw this lovely video you did him very proud what a legend thanks Steve 👌👌👌
Loves the guy Steve he could sing brilliant
Very interesting and respectful video. Steve had a long standing drug addiction going back to his early twenties and although he may have finally beaten it , it took its toll on his mental and physical health. That plus money troubles was part of why he ended up living with his sister and her family.I also believe he had some kind of stroke several years before he passed away. I remember a friend of mine, who is sadly no longer with us, telling me that when he worked in a record shop in London in the 1980s, Steve was banned from coming in because of his previous behaviour (probably due to the drugs). And as every Bowie fan knows, Steve was in the video for Bowie's 1980 song 'Ashes to ashes ' (filmed in Scarborough I think). Anyway, Fade to grey is a brilliant record and one of the seminal tracks of the early 1980s. A haunting song from a unique artist.
Loved Visage. Fade to Grey is one of my top 5 new romantic tunes. Steve was funny on that hairdressing programme. I didn’t realise it was 8 year since he passed. Time is flying. 😢
Fitting tribute as all your film are. Brilliant decade the 80's Fade to grey is and will always be an anthem, still as haunting as it was when I first heard it in the Limit club Sheffield .

Thank you so much for this video, out of all of the '80s music stars, Steve is one of my favorites. As a teenager in the early 80's growing up in a small farm town in the middle of nowhere in America, when I discovered Steve Strange and Visage, my life changed. I felt like I found 'My Tribe'. In 1985 when I ran away from home at age 17, the music of Visage was my constant companion, something about the music and him inspired me so much and helped give me courage live life fearlessly and see the wonder and beauty in it. A song he released in 1984 *'Casualty'* really spoke to me:
*_At 17 you're in a world of your own_*
*_You think that no-one quite understands_*
*_Your mother is telling you to stay at home_*
*_Your father has quite different plans_*
*_You've packed your bags and you're ready to leave_*
*_Like so many times before_*
*_You leave the envelope on the kitchen table_*
*_As you turn the key of the door_*
Seeing his tombstone is so sobering, its such a unique, un-nameable feeling. Steve Strange We Love You 🙏
Steve Strange was a great eccentric, his smiley face was a breath of fresh air compared to the moody looks of the time 😊
The good old British weather makes us say ‘filled with rain like an English summer’ countless times every year. My kids know his music and say it as well.
Thanks for showing us Steve’s final resting place x
what an 80s icon very sad he passed so young steve was amazing what a beautiful headstone great tribute to him .

Hearing Fade to Grey took me back to my teens! Well done and RIP Steve!
So many of my generation have died way too young. We made the best music, loved the 80"s.
Great music.. such a shame that another one left us too early..had loads to offer .r.i p.Steve x

@@UnusualThings1 A pleasure. I was also looking at some of your other great videos with interest. For example, I was devastated by Melanie Appleby's death at such a young age. You are always welcome as our VIP at Electric Dreams (The Water Rats/The Cannick Tapps).

Hello Paul,that was a good one,70s,80s,90s were the best decades for music easily,they just seemed to be carefree,Steve Strange a massive part of peoples lives,as always,i found out things i didnt know about him,RIP Steve Strange
Oh my. I was born early 70s, but I remember Steve strange well. Loved Visage growing up, I was very jealous that men could do their make up better than me!! Loved watching Steve in Celebrity Scissorhands, the pure love Lee Stafford had for him was lovely to watch. If you ever come down to my neck of the woods, I'd love to go celebrity grave hunting with you Paul.
