The 77 years Bryan Ferry CBE was born on September 26, 1945, in Washington, United Kingdom and he is widely known as an English singer and songwriter. His voice has been described as an “elegant, seductive croon”. He also established a distinctive image and sartorial style: according to The Independent, Ferry and his contemporary David Bowie influenced a generation with both their music and their appearances.
Ferry was born in Washington, County Durham, and he is the son of Mary Ann and Frederick Charles Ferry. His parents were working-class, and his father was a farm laborer who also looked after pit ponies. He attended Washington Grammar-Technical School which is now called Washington Academy on Spout Lane in 1957.
Why did Bryan Ferry wear an eye patch?
From our search, we realized that Ferry wore an eye patch for appearance, albeit not for aesthetic reasons. According to him, it wasn’t a piratical fashion thing, as many people thought. The day before our taping, I was sent to the hospital to have my eye looked at. I had walked into a door or something. I remember thinking, ‘Oh, God, we’ve got to do a television show.’ Which we did despite my eye. In the video, if you look carefully, you can see a bandage with a dressing underneath. But the black patch looked good.
