It's paradoxical, but the British, reputed to be a model of restraint and conservatism, do not adhere to any rules in music at all. English singers are always outrageous in their purest form, which at first looks too bold in the eyes of the public, and then becomes an icon of generations. Kings who blew up the world with their sound, rebels who were banned and impossible not to listen to - these are all English singers, the list of which is headed by the Liverpool Four Beatles.

It all started with the Beetles

Today, only one of the musicians is engaged in creative work - 74-year-old Paul McCartney. In the early 1960s, the garage band played local concerts, but it soon became clear that the band could show the public something other than covers. Paul McCartney is the author of most of the hits from the first two Beatles albums. In 1963, after performing in the Royal Variety Show, theseEnglish singers woke up famous. Classic rock, art and pop-rock - the group has won a vast niche in world music, and McCartney was not only the author of the immortal Hey Jude, Yellow Submarine and Yesterday (the world leader in covers), but also a performer of various musical parts from bass to recorder.

Outrageous King - Mick Jagger

English rock singers should sing loudly, Michael decided as a child. The enthusiastic teenager tried so hard to sing like a star that he once bit off the tip of his tongue while singing.

The Rolling Stones were founded in 1962. English singers Jagger and Richards met as teenagers on a playground. Later, the already played group accepted Brian Jones into the composition. For the next 20 years, Jagger held on as the band's front man. The audience noted both the breadth of the musical range, and the unusual voice, and his groovy energetic and fearlessly sexual body movements. Jagger's dances have become a legend along with his songs, they show the versatility of the image of this musician - an eternal child, for whom childhood seems to be permanent.

David Bowie is more than an artist

The artistic career of this hero is 50 years of impeccable style. Bowie's music was inextricably linked with the external component. Insinuating voice, intellectual puzzle songs, experimentation on stage, scandalous androgynous images. Many English singers say that it was Bowie who influenced their style. The composition Space Oddity, released in 1969, became the hallmark of the singer. The songs Let's Dance and Modern Love were included in the list of the 500 greatest compositions of the world, and the musician himself was ranked 23rd in the hundred of the world's greatest vocalists of all time. Still creative, Bowie passed away in 2016 at the age of 69 from cancer.

Alpha Male Hard Rock: Lemmy

Many English singers have paid great attention to their own style, but Ian Kilmister is not one of them. Kilmister is a classic example of the alpha male on stage in heavy music. English singer-songwriter, commonly known by his nickname Lemmy, was born in 1945. Played a bunch of genres from classic rock and roll to punk and psychedelic. Lemmy Kilmister dedicated half his life to Motörhead and Hawkwind.

Brutality, heavy vocals and an equally thunderous bass sound of Lemmy made him a cult figure in hard rock and graced the careers of a dozen bands who were lucky enough to work with him. The musician's career started in 1965. Wild, unbridled, out of control, Lemmy was a headache for the musicians of Hawkwind. Despite the fruitfulness of cooperation, he was expelled from the team due to addiction to drugs. However, in 1975, Lemmy proves that it's too early to put an end to the drug addicted bass player - he founds his own band Motörhead, which wins the status of the main British hard rock band and enters the golden fund of British hard and heavy.

He abandoned his beloved and children, wandered the world, despised material values - in general, asthis often happens, he was a real monster for his loved ones, and an idol for the whole world. This man died like a boy playing a video game. As it turned out, he had advanced cancer, which Lemmy ignored.

This is a very mysterious person. Let's name a few interesting facts about this man. The music industry paid tribute to Kilmister with an unusual documentary called Lemmy. For 3 years he was filming in Hollywood in the house of the musician himself. Also, the work took place on tours in all corners of the world.
