Luckily, Russel saved him, but after that fight, the band split up.ĭuring the Gorillaz hiatus, 2-D stayed in Los Angeles. After suggesting many crazy ideas for the film, Murdoc snapped and attacked 2-D, almost choking him. Later, 2-D began dating Rachel Stevens, a former member of S-Club 7 and invited her to the band's first gig at the Camden Brownhouse.Īfter Gorillaz attended the record label signing party, Rachel broke up with 2-D the next day, after Murdoc spent most of the evening hitting on her to get her attention.Īfter Gorillaz played their last gig at the Isle of MTV in Portugal, Gorillaz moved to Los Angeles to write a film and tension began to grow between the band members. 2-D was upset about this and he and Paula broke up. 2-D's girlfriend, Paula Cracker, was originally the group's first guitar player but was soon fired after Russel caught her giving Murdoc a blowjob in the studio toilets. In 1998, 2-D and Murdoc moved into Kong Studios and assembled Russel Hobbs to join them. This, along with his frequent headaches and eye pains, led to him getting addicted to pain killers and whiskey. Paula and 2-D where very close (or he thought they where close), so when 2-D's best friend, Russel Hobbs, caught Paula and, band bassist, Murdoc Niccals, having sex in the toilets of Kong Studios, he was deeply saddened. Originally, the guitarist of Gorillaz was going to be 2-D's then girlfriend, Paula Cracker. Despite this, he serves as Gorillaz's lead vocalist. Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett commented on this, saying that he has a blank sheet of paper where a brain should be. 2-D would appear to have a chronic history of violent blows to the head, coupled with a complete lack of natural intelligence. Rather amusingly, Stuart adored his new nickname, dropping the use of his birth name completely and even signing formal letters with the first name "Two" and surname "D". Murdoc nicknamed Stuart '2-D', which stands for the "Two Dents" in his head. "A blue-haired, black-eyed god", Murdoc recalls. This was the moment when Murdoc knew he had his frontman. When Stuart awoke after sliding through the cement for about a mile, he turned to look at Murdoc. This sent Stuart crashing through the windscreen, hitting his head on the curb, fracturing his other eye and awakening him from his coma. One year later, in a poor attempt to impress some women, Murdoc performed a 360 in a Tesco car park in Nottingham with his vehicle. Murdoc was arrested and sentenced to carry out 30,000 hours (1,250 days) of community service as well as care for the incapacitated Stuart for 10 hours every week. Murdoc's bumper crashed into Stuart's face, landing him with an 8-ball fracture also known as 'hyphema' - although he could still see through his injured eye - and putting him in a coma.
On August 15, 1997, when Stuart was 19, his life changed forever after a local hooligan named Murdoc Niccals, age 31, purposefully crashed his Vauxhall Astra through the wall of Uncle Norm's Organ Emporium, where Stuart had been working, in an attempt to ram-raid it and steal the synths as part of a crime-spree and an attempt to start a successful band.
When it came back it was a deep 'azure blue'.
He hit his head when falling from a tree at the age of eleven, causing all of his hair to fall out. His parents recall a little ten-year-old Stuart bouncing around in his room listening to The Clash, Augustus Pablo, The Human League (his favorite band) and many other musicians of the sort. While Stuart wasn't a very intelligent boy (indeed, he was often described as "a bit thick"), he was known as a kind person and had a general love of music. His mother, Rachel Tusspot, was a nurse who supplied Stuart with headache pills from his tree accident. His father, David Tusspot, worked as a mechanic and owner of the Tusspot's Fairground. Wilfred's School (the same school that educated the members of The Cure). He was born in Crawley, England and was being educated at St. His real name is Stuart Pot (his last name was often thought to be Tusspot, though his father changed his name to "Pot" shortly before Stuart was born to avoid him from getting bullied at school), but is often shortened to Stu-Pot. 2-D was born on May 23, 1978, to David and Rachel Pot.
