Steve Marriott

The story of Steve Marriott is almost too awful to be true. Born in London's East End, he went from being fed jellied eels in his pram to teenage stardom as the lead singer of one of the most popular groups of the 1960s, The Small Faces, and then on to even more success in America with his band Humble Pie. However, drugs, alcohol and several failed marriages left him penniless by the age of 44, when he tragically burned to death in his own home.
