From his 1970s punk band, the Rich Kids—fronted by original Sex Pistols bassist, Glen Matlock—to his New Romantic endeavor, Visage, with superstars Steve Strange and Rusty Egan, Ure has become a staple in our record collections with his work in Ultravox, skyrocketing the band into mainstream success after the departure of John Foxx.
