Forever the Iconic figure, Grace has not only changed the face of modern music but has also been a muse to Andy Warhol, influenced the cross-dressing movement of the 80’s and appeared in such film classics Conan the Destroyer and A View to a Kill. Her current album Hurricane was released in 2008 and she is currently touring – including a headline slot at the 2009 Latitude Festival. More info and tickets.
