- Dec 11, 2021
Steve Bronski alias Steven William Forrest ist mit 61 am 9. Dezember gestorben. 1983 hatte er mit Larry Steinbachek und Jimmy Somerville die Gruppe Bronski Beat gegründet. Das Trio thematisierte in seinen Texten die Situation der Homosexuellen in Großbritannien und landete einige Single-Hits (unter anderem “Smalltown Boy“, 1984, UK und D #3). Nach dem Weggang von Somerville 1985 hielt Bronski die Gruppe bis 1995 aufrecht, der Erfolg blieb jedoch aus. Réunion-Versuche scheiterten.
