Summary: Looks like an alien, sings like a diva. Klaus Nomi was one of the 1980s' most profoundly bizarre characters. He was a cult figure in the New Wave Underground scene who sang pop music like opera and brought opera to club audiences. He was a performer with a "look" so strong, that his first audiences went wild before he even opened his mouth. On the verge of international fame as a singer, he instead became one of the first prominent artists to die of AIDS. The reaction Klaus Nomi provoked was so strong that he is still unforgettable, even 20 years after his death.
