David Vanian
Dave Vanian (born David Lett, 12 October 1956) is a rock musician and lead singer of the punk rock band The Damned. Formed in 1976 in London, The Damned were the first British punk band to release a single, an album, have a record hit the UK charts, and tour the United States. With a fluid line-up since their founding, Vanian has been the only ever-present member.
==Career==
Born in Hemel Hempstead, Vanian changed his name from Lett to Vanian in early life after a previous stint as a gravedigger – Vanian being a play on "Transylvanian". He remains one of the early influencers of gothic fashion, wearing dark and otherworldly clothing both on stage and off. He is known to be a fan of renaissance art, film noir and horror movies, all of which manifest in his stage appearance. In November 1976, the British music magazine ''NME'' stated that Vanian "resembles a runaway from the Addams Family".
In 1978, he was guest in the song "Don't Panic England", from the band Doctors of Madness. In 2004, he and Captain Sensible turned on the Christmas lights in Cambridge, causing some controversy.〔(Church fury at Damned's switch-on ), bbc.co.uk; accessed 12 September 2015.〕
Vanian sang with the MC5 for their 40th anniversary singing "Looking at You", which was released as part of ''Revolution: A Celebration of the MC5''. In 2008, with the band the Throb, played "Let's Get Lost (Sailor Jerry's Story)" to the compilation ''The Original Sailor Jerry Rum – Music To ........... To''. Outside of the Damned he has led the rockabilly band David Vanian & the Phantom Chords, hosted ''Dave Vanian's Dark Screen'' on the UK-based television channel Rockworld TV and composed the soundtrack for the 2009 film, ''The Perfect Sleep''.〔(Profile ), theperfectsleep.com; accessed 12 September 2015.〕
