T. Rex
Biographie T. Rex
Originally formed as Tyrannosaurus Rex by Marc Bolan in August 1967, T. Rex started out as a British folk-rock combo. By the 1970’s, T. Rex were the primary force in glam rock, and the band reached global success with a series of Top Ten hits, including four number one singles. The band broke up after Marc Bolan tragically died in a car accident in 1977. Over the next two decades, Bolan emerged as a cult figure and timeless hits like "Jeepster", "Get It On", "Ride a White Swan", "20th Century Boy", "Children of the Revolution", "Hot Love", "Telegram Sam", and "Metal Guru" have continued to prove influential on the musical landscape, helping shape sounds in hard rock, punk, new wave, and alternative rock amongst others.
