Biography
Kim Larsen was a popular Danish singer-songwriter and guitarist. He first found fame as a member of the rock group Gasolin', formed in 1969 with Franz Beckerlee, Wili Jonsson and Soren Berlev. They released nine albums in the 1970s and became one of Denmark's most influential acts with songs such as the anthemic 'This Is My Life'. After the break-up of Gasolin' he released several solo albums, starting with 1973's successful 'Værsgo'. In 1983 his film soundtrack 'Midt om Natten' became the biggest-selling album in Danish history. Larsen also enjoyed several collaborations, most notably four albums as Kim Larsen & Bellami and from 1994 releasing eight albums as Kim Larsen & Kjukken. After a long break from solo recordings he released his 2010 studio album, 'Mine Damer og Herrer' which topped the Danish Album Chart.
A gravel-voiced anti-authoritarian figure and protest singer, he was critical of smoking bans and government intrusion. His 1979 album title '231045-0637' was his supposedly secret Danish personal identification number. Sadly, Larsen passed away in 2018 at the age of 72 after battling cancer. A week after his death a tribute concert was held in Copenhagen.
