Alexander Bard has led a
busy life. After studying drama
in America, he became a
video performance and drag
artist, did lots of drugs and
tried his hand as a rent boy,
then became an economist,
sociologist and A’n’R man,
before settling for life as
a popstar with Army Of
Lovers. He’s now a founding
member of Bodies Without Organs (BWO), Sweden’s
next big pop export. Michael Turnbull managed to pin
him down to talk about his career…
