In honor of her 69th birthday, let's take a look into the colorful music career of the music legend and the iconic vocalist behind the rock band Siouxsie and the Banshees.
The singer, who was then 19 years old, was accidentally discovered after she and her friend and bandmate Steven Severin asked the manager if they could fill in the spot after a band dropped out at the last minute.

“It was very impromptu,” the female vocalist told Magnet Magazine, in reference to their first performance and opening for the Sex Pistols. “The band was formed just for that one gig. That was it. Fifteen or 20 minutes, that was all the future that I saw. But it’s gone on for quite a long time.”
In 1978, they released their first official studio album, The Scream, under Polydor Records with Sioux on lead vocals, Severin on bass guitar, John McKay on guitar and saxophone and Kenny Morris on drums and percussion as the original lineup.
Following the band’s gothic peak in 1981 and after a few changes in the lineup, along with the release of 11 albums, Sioux went solo in the early 2000s.
From then on, she continued to build her legacy, highlighted by her highest-charting song "Into a Swan,” peaking at No. 19 on the UK Physical Singles Chart, as well as her iconic 2013 collaboration with John Lennon’s second wife, Yoko Ono at the Meltdown Festival.
