Sebastian Horsley

The artist, writer and self-proclaimed dandy of the underworld was found dead today in his Soho flat. The 47-yr old was reported to have died of a heroin overdose. This comes only days after a play adapted from his autobiography opened at the Soho Theatre. In an interview with The Independent in 2006, Horsley joked that his suicide note would read:
"I've decided to stop living on account of the cost."

Among many things, Sebastian was known for was his outrageous yet sharp dress sense, so here are a few images to celebrate that...

A true individual and a remarkable character. Love him or loathe him, it's certain that there'll never be another like Sebastian. The play, Dandy in the Underworld, will continue to run at the Soho Theatre - so if you are able to go you definitely should!
