Philip Chevron is one of the most popular and richest Guitarist who was born on June 17, 1957 in Ireland, Ireland. Irish guitarist, music producer, and punk rock icon known for his work with the band The Pogues. He also performed with another Irish band, The Radiators from Space, and later re-formed the group, calling it simply The Radiators.
He was friends with fellow punk legend Joe Strummer.
Chevron grew up in Santry, a suburb of Dublin. Beginning in the late 1970s, he was lead singer and co-founder of the punk rock group The Radiators from Space, receiving some critical acclaim but little widespread popularity or financial success. Following a temporary breakup of the band in 1981, he lived in London for a while, meeting and befriending Shane MacGowan through time spent working together at a record shop. Following the release of the Pogues’ 1984 debut album Red Roses For Me, he was invited to join the band on a short- term basis as cover for banjo player Jem Finer’s paternity leave. He took over as guitarist following MacGowan’s decision to concentrate on singing—thereby becoming a full-time member of the band in time for the recording of its second album, Rum, Sodomy and the Lash.
Chevron was openly gay and penned the anti-homophobia song “Under Clery’s Clock”, which was first performed in 1987 when The Radiators reformed for one gig, an AIDS benefit in Dublin, and released as a single in 1989.
He was raised in the suburbs of Dublin, Ireland.
