MALCOLM MCLAREN

Malcolm Robert Andrew McLaren was a man blessed with a multitude of talents. The English impresario, performer, visual artist, musician, and clothing designer established a name for himself through his inventiveness and provocative approach when it comes to any endeavor he pursues. It comes as no surprise then that he also gets credit for promoting and managing the bands that helped shaped the punk movement: Sex Pistols and New York Dolls.

In 2009, Malcolm was diagnosed with a serious health problem and was receiving treatment in Sweden. In 2010, he succumbed to the disease. He was 64 years old at the time. It seems his talent and legacy will continue. Several TV and radio documentaries about his life were aired to give inspiration, especially to young people in this generation. His passion and dedication to his craft is something that everyone can relate to. BBC Radio 4 broadcasted his biopic entitled Malcolm McLaren: Spectacular Failure to mark his 10th death anniversary.
