Scissor Sisters star praises late rocker Bolan

Scissor Sisters star Ana Matronic has lavished praise on late T. Rex rocker Marc Bolan.

The 'Kiss You Off' singer insisted that Bolan, who died in a car crash in September 1977, helped to make androgyny more acceptable to the population at large.

She told the Radio Times: "Rock 'n' roll was very male at that time and for someone like Marc to take women's clothing and sex himself up to such a degree was a two-fingered salute to that traditional idea of masculinity. It was experimentation with music and fashion and every aspect of the self."
