Check out these retro photos of Mansfield's biggest rock star through the years

A unique statue was unveiled at Mansfield Palace Theatre in 2022, commemorating the legendary singer/songwriter who appeared in pantomime as a child.

Alvin Stardust, whose real name was Bernard Jewry, started out in the music business in the 1960s – first recording as Shane Fenton – but became a huge star on the back of the 1970s glam rock craze, scoring hits with tracks including ‘My Coo Ca Choo’ and ‘Jealous Mind’.

The hit song ‘My Coo Ca Choo’ reached number two in the UK Singles Chart in December 1973, before he topped the charts with Jealous Mind three months later.

He died in October 2014, aged 72.

Here are some fabulous photos of the Mansfield rocker through the years.
