Ian Dury (1942-2000) è stato un cantautore, musicista e attore britannico, noto per il suo stile musicale unico che mescolava punk, ska, musica classica e cabaret. Nato a Harrow, Londra, Dury ha iniziato la sua carriera negli anni '60 come artista visivo e scrittore. Nel 1977 ha pubblicato il suo album di debutto, "New Boots and Panties!!", che includeva il singolo di successo "Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll". Il brano divenne un inno per una generazione e consacrò Dury come uno dei più originali artisti britannici. La sua musica era caratterizzata da testi ironici e provocatori, spesso incentrati su temi sociali e politici. Tra i suoi album più importanti figurano "Do It Yourself" (1979) e "Lord Upminster" (1981). Dury ha collaborato con artisti come The Blockheads e Mick Jones dei Clash. La sua carriera è stata segnata da una serie di successi, ma anche da momenti difficili a causa di un'infanzia difficile e di problemi di salute. Nonostante le difficoltà, Dury è rimasto un artista iconico, ricordato per la sua originalità, il suo talento e la sua capacità di far ridere e riflettere allo stesso tempo.
