Fans of Marc Bolan came out to show their support for the late glam rock icon earlier this month at the unveiling of a plaque erected in his honour in Summerstown, London, where he lived in the 1960s.

The former T. Rex frontman, who was born Marc Feld, is best known for hits such as “Get it On” and “Children Of The Revolution.” He died in a road accident in 1977 aged 29.

His former bandmate Andy Ellison, pulled the cord to reveal the plaque on September 18 erected outside the site of a former pub where Mr Bolan used to busk. 

The John’s Children frontman also performed a couple of numbers written by Mr Bolan.
