The extraordinary story of Vivian Stanshall, lead singer of the Bonzo Dog DooDah Band, true British eccentric.Charismatic and flamboyant, Vivian Stanshall was a natural frontman for The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band. The eccentric group who satirised trad jazz, pop and rock, reached Number five with Im The Urban Spaceman in 1968. A punishing schedule of tours and television followed, including work with the future Monty Python team. The following year, broke and burned out, the Bonzos split up, leaving behind a loyal cult following.Vivian launched into myriad solo projects in music, film and theatre, giving himself several nervous breakdowns in the process. His comic masterpiece, Sir Henry at Rawlinson End, was heard in radio, on an album, and then hit the big screen. Vivian wrote the musical Stinkfoot, was narrator on Tubular Bells and provided lyrics for Steve Winwood. In person, he was just as multifaceted, by turns the erudite artist and the truculent Teddy Boy, breathtakingly rude. A powerful figure, tall, redhaired and never less than extravagant in his fashion, Vivian Stanshall was a hellraiser of legendary reputation ably assisted through much of the 1970s by Who drummer Keith Moon. Vivian drove the many who loved him to the limit, struggling with terrible tranquilliser and alcohol dependency. He died at home in a house fire in 1995. The story of his turbulent life is utterly compelling.
