Susan Janet Ballion, the stunning lead singer of the well-known gothic music group Siouxsie and the Banshees, who gained notoriety in the 1980s, was born on May 27, 1957, in London, England.
The Ballions resided in a Chislehurst, Kent, suburban neighborhood. Being unable to have guests at her home due to her drunken, unemployed father, Siouxsie grew up alone. Despite his problems, Siouxsie thought he was educated and well-read and understood his struggle to integrate into a “strict, middle-class culture.”
At the age of 19, Siouxsie Sioux performed at the 100 Club Punk Festival, performing “Young Love” by the Bay City Rollers and an extended rendition of “The Lord’s Prayer” (with bassist Steve Severin, future Ant guitarist Marco Pirroni, and Sid Vicious on drums).
She rose to prominence in the London club scene thanks to her glam, fetish, and bondage-inspired outfits, which eventually influenced punk style. With her distinctive cat-eye makeup, deep crimson lipstick, spikey dyed-black hair, and all-black attire, she would also have a significant impact on the eventual development of gothic fashion.
