Steve Priest , the bassist and co-founder of glam-Rock Band Sweet, died at the Age Of 72 years.

He was known for his playful Humor and outrageous costumes, when Sweet played hits such as Blockbuster and Little Willy on Top of The Pops in the 1970s.

the priest also sang the memorable lines "there is a girl in The Corner that no one ignores you, 'cos she thinks she is the passionate," in the Ballroom Blitz.

His death was confirmed, The Band shared a statement from His Family .

band members Andy Scott paid tribute, describes the priest As One of The Best Bass Player he ever played with. "From this moment, in the summer of 1970, when we opened up to us on our musical Odyssey, The World and the Roller Coaster ride began. "

"I'm In Pieces now," added the guitarist, who is now the only survivor of the Sweet classic line-up.

"Maureen, His wife, and I remained in contact, and although his health was a bust, I never saw this moment. Never. My thoughts are with His Family . "

Controversial costumes

the priest was born in Hayes, West London, in 1948, and a musician was to building his own Bass Guitar in his youth.

After playing in bands such as The countdown and The army, he founded The Sweet (then known as the pastry shop) in January 1968, with lead singer Brian Connolly and drummer Mick Tucker and guitarist Frank Torpey.

after a few line-up changes, and a False Start on Parlophone Records, The Band at the RCA, wrote in 1971, along with songwriters Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman , their bubblegum melodies and power-pop riffs catapulted them into The Charts .

in total, they scored 13 Top 20 hits in the 1970s with songs like Teenage Rampage, Hell Raiser, Wig Wam Bam, and The Number -one single Blockbuster.

As The Band was a regular fixture on Top of The Pops , priest was the epitome of glam-rock androgyny, known for his extravagant outfits and heavy make-up.

"The make-up is, I can't remember what started that" "Marc Bolan , maybe? Top of The Pops was a stupid show, in some ways, but it was like, uh, you had to outdo all the others. "

"I was The First to wear Hot Pants on Top of The Pops ," he added. "A year later, Bowie did it, and everyone went, 'Wow, David Bowie was wearing Hot Pants on Top of The Pops ", and completely forget that I've done it the year before. "

The Band wore Native American headdress, if you played Wig-Wam Bam in The 70S

But the bassist landed himself in Hot Water when he appeared in a German military uniform and with a Hitler-mustache on the 1973 Christmas edition of Top of The Pops (The Song they played, Blockbuster, named after an allied bomb).

"It's amazing how everyone still talks about the Nazi uniform," the "Good old BBC wardrobe Department. People always want to know whether I was serious. I mean, a gay Hitler. Hello? !"

Sweet parted ways with Chinn and Chapman in 1974, determined to write their own material. Influenced by The Who , their sound was harder, and brought hits like Fox On The Run and Action.

After Connolly left The Group in 1978, priest took over the lead vocal duties, and Sweet continued as a trio until 1981.

'A brave glam-rocker'

In recent years, there have been two competing versions of Sweet: a priest had The Right to use the name of The Band in the USA, where he lived, while guitarist Andy Scott has toured the UK with a different line-up.

duties of the priests have poured in since his death was announced, with many sharing their memories on Social Media .

"If Sweet were on [TV] you sat there in awe thinking, the sod-school of career consultants, The Job for me'". "And you wrapped your parents a little lazy, which was a bonus. Steve Priest , RIP. "

David Ellefson of Megadeth, said that the priest was "".

He added that Sweet "gave Me One of my earliest memories of great Hard Rock on the radio, as a child, and [1974], the Desolation Boulevard still holds as a rock-greatest albums from this period. "

"RIP Steve Priest ," the US Rock Band heart. "A bold glam-rocker and the people. "

"As you can imagine, I'm definitely a Sweet-and-fan", the lead singer of Twisted Sister . "It is sad that so many of the original band are gone now. "
