Frank Sidebottom

Frank Sidebottom was the stage name and persona of the English comedian and musician Chris Sievey (1956–2010). The character was instantly recognisable by his spherical head, styled like an early Max Fleischer cartoon. This was initially made from papier-mâché, but later rebuilt out of fibreglass. Frank, usually dressed in a 1950s-style sharp suit, was portrayed as an aspiring pop star from the village of Timperley near Altrincham, Greater Manchester. Read more on Last.fm
