In this Deep Dive interview with Alexander Bard from Army of Lovers, he talks about his childhood in Motala, Sweden, listening to pop music in secret in his bedroom, his time in the States, and how he got into sex work in Amsterdam.
It was the perfect mix to prepare him for his time in the cross-dressing Barbie, to success in the band Army of Lovers. There he teamed up with Jean-Pierre Barda and La Camilla, their iconic Army of Lovers hit Crucified remains one of the most loved anthems of the 90s. But it didn't end there for Alexander Bard, today he’s a philosopher and religious activist, outspoken at every turn of the interview.
The interview is a must!
