Sadly in the middle of recording his fourth solo album, Joe Strummer died of a heart attack in his home in 2002. In 1999 he released his second solo album, ‘Rock Art and the X-Ray Style’ and then in 2001 he released his third album, ‘Global A-Go-Go’. Joe fell out of the musical world for a while until the 1990s. In 1976, Joe co-found the band The Clash, the band released six albums and a ton of singles including one of their most popular songs, ‘Should I Stay or Should I Go’ (1982). The Clash split up, leaving Strummer to work with some of the ex band members to release songs but in 1989 he released his first solo album ‘Earthquake Weather’. In 1974, he formed a band called the 101er’s, but the band wasn’t going where Joe wanted to go so he quit. His schooling involved London boarding schools, and as a teenager he began to use the stage name Joe Strummer. absolute joy.John Graham Mellor, publicly known as Joe Strummer, was born in 1952 in Turkey, where his father was stationed.

He also worked together with the band Black Grape, as well as writing music with a backing band called The Latino Rockabilly War as well as Joe Strummer & the Astro Physicians.

Having had a few minor parts in full length movies, Strummer was also engaged in various film projects in the late 1980s and 90s, e.g. He produced their album Hell's Ditch (1991) and for some time replaced their lead vocalist Shane MacGowan (unable to perform because of alcoholism). He didn't have much luck in harvesting recognition for his solo works, and he began working together with The Pogues.
