I wonder if he will be cremated.
No doubt to the sounds of The Great Gig In The Sky…
So who’s the most famous non artist person depicted on an album cover? Suze Rotolo?
Surely it’ll be the people on the cover of Band on the Run – Michael Parkinson, Christopher Lee, John Conteh, Clement Freud, James Coburn and Kenny Lynch, although Lynch probably counts as an artist.
Clement Freud was later exposed as being a pretty disgusting specimen
I would say an actor counts as an artist so that’s Coburn and Lee also counted too, and C Lee did record a heavy metal record.
I was just going to add Sgt Pepper’s too but @Jaygee has beaten me to it.
Coburn made sweet music with Lynsey de Paul for a while, too
Sergeant Pepper is full of em
As is the Smiths catalogue
re: The Smiths – in a coincidental collision of stories on this site, Terence Stamp was on the cover of What Difference Does It Make
The baby on Nirvana’s Nevermind.
Think he got a couple of supermarket openings out of it
(Think I saw a doc once where he said he’d never actually heard the album)
I haven’t either … or do u mean the baby?
He sued them for sexual abuse I believe
how about the lad on the cover of Boy and War by U2
Those two little kids crawling up the Giant’s Causeway on Zep’s “Houses Of The Holy”?
The cream-covered miss on Herb Alpert’s “Whipped Cream And Other Delights”?
(S’pose it depends on whether you mean famous people who appeared on a sleeve, or people who achieved fame by appearing on a sleeve)
The succession of laydeez who were pictured on Roxy Music’s album covers included Jerry Hall. Formerly Mrs Mick Jagger. More recently Mrs. Rupert Murdoch.
Unless fashion models get included among artists.
…also Kari-Ann Muller…
…and Constanze Karoli (sister of Can’s Michael Karoli)…
