│ LONDON, December 23 2002 - Joe Strummer, the gravel-voiced │
│ lead singer of the legendary band The Clash, whose hits │
│ "London Calling" and "Rock the Casbah" electrified the punk │
│ scene, has died at age 50. │
│ The singer, guitarist and songwriter died Sunday at his home │
│ in Broomfield, in the southern county of Somerset, his │
│ record company said. The British Broadcasting Corp. quoted │
│ The Clash's video director Don Letts as saying Strummer died │
│ of a heart attack. │
│ The Clash was the politically militant face of the British │
│ punk rock movement, enjoying chart success both in Britain │
│ and the United States until they split in the mid-1980s. │
│ Their biggest British hit was "London Calling," which │
│ reached No. 11. They cracked the Top 30 in the United States │
│ in 1980 with "Train in Vain (Stand by Me)" and had later │
│ hits with "Rock the Casbah" and "Should I Stay or Should I │
│ Go?" which was used in a Levis commercial. │
│ "The Clash was the greatest rock band. They wrote the rule │
│ book for U2," U2's lead singer Bono said Monday. │
│ Strummer - his real name was John Graham Mellor - was born │
│ in Ankara, Turkey, the son of a British diplomat. │
│ He dropped out of art school, spent time busking on the │
│ London Underground and later formed a pub-rock band called │
│ the 101'ers. After seeing The Sex Pistols perform in 1976, │
│ the young musician was captivated by the punk scene, and │
│ joined up with Mick Jones, Paul Simonon and Nicky "Topper" │
│ Headon to form London SS, quickly renamed The Clash. │
│ Between 1977 and 1982, Strummer and Jones composed, │
│ performed and recorded dozens of songs, using musical ideas │
│ from reggae and rockabilly as well as punk. With Jones' │
│ crisp guitar and Strummer's distinctive Cockney-accented │
│ vocals, the band, which also included Keith Levene and Terry │
│ Chimes, became hugely popular. │
│ The double album, "London Calling," represented their peak │
│ and is generally considered one of the best in rock history. │
│ "Their music is primitive and aggressive," says the │
│ Illustrated Encyclopedia of Rock, "but the chemistry is │
│ combustible. On stage they are a complete audiovisual │
│ experience, driven forward on a wave of passion and pure │
│ energy." │
│ In 1980, a fight erupted during a concert in Hamburg, │
│ Germany and Strummer was arrested after hitting a fan with │
│ his guitar. │
│ In 1982, he disappeared for three weeks, forcing the band to │
│ cancel their UK tour. Strummer later explained that he had │
│ doubts about his career, so he went to Paris where he tried │
│ "living like a bum." │
│ The band signed with CBS Records for $200,000, and their │
│ first album "Clash," was released in the United Kingdom in │
│ 1977. The record company considered the album too crude for │
│ U.S. release, however. It wasn't until 1979 that a │
│ compilation album would be released as "The Clash" in │
│ America. │
│ "Here was a record that defined rock's risks and pleasures, │
│ and told us, once again that this was music worth fighting │
│ for," wrote Tom Carson in Rolling Stone of the album. │
│ The band split in the early 1980s after a dispute between │
│ Strummer and Jones, who subsequently formed the group Big │
│ Audio Dynamite (BAD). │
│ Strummer formed a new band, The Mescaleros, in the late │
│ 1990s and toured with them in Britain as recently as │
│ November. Hein van der Rey, managing director of Epitaph │
│ Records, said Strummer had been working on a third album │
│ with The Mescaleros. │
│ Billy Bragg, the British folk-rocker and political activist, │
│ noted that punk bands such as The Sex Pistols, The │
│ Stranglers and The Ramones weren't very political. │
│ "It was The Clash that struck the strong political stance │
│ that really inspired a lot of people, and within The Clash │
│ he was the political engine of the band," Bragg said. │
│ "The thing about Strummer was he walked it like he talked │
│ it. He didn't cop out. He didn't show one face to the public │
│ and have a different face in himself," Bragg said. │
│ The Clash was voted in to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and │
│ is due to be inducted in a ceremony in New York City next │
│ March.s │
│ Strummer recently collaborated with Bono of U2 and Dave │
│ Stewart of The Eurythmics on a song in honor of former South │
│ African President Nelson Mandela. Titled "48864," Mandela's │
│ number in prison, the song is to be played Feb. 2, at an │
│ AIDS benefit concert Mandela is sponsoring at his former │
│ prison on Robben Island. │
│ Strummer is survived by his wife Lucy, two daughters and a │
│ stepdaughter. │
