One of the pioneers of the glam rock movement of the 1970s, English singer, songwriter, musician, and poet Marc Bolan was the front man of the band T. Rex and a close friend of David Bowie. T. Rex's 1971 album Electric Warrior, with all songs written by Bolan, including the UK chart topper "Get It On", has been described by as "the album that essentially kick-started the UK glam rock craze" (AllMusic). Bolan died at the age of 29 in a car crash two weeks before his 30th birthday. In 1977, a memorial stone and bust of Bolan, Marc Bolan's Rock Shrine, was unveiled at the site where he died in Barnes, London. As a member of T. Rex, Bolan was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020.
