Sex and the Style Editor
In memory of Brendan Sheehy
Monday, 12 January 2009
Historically, super-sexy, scissor wielding, celebrity hairdressers have caused me a lot of heartache, and Brendan Sheehy was no different.
Originally from Oldham just outside Manchester, Brendan attended St Augustine of Canterbury Roman Catholic High School with Mark Owen from Take That, who became his first celebrity client, then went on to coiff rock royalty including Liam and Noel Gallagher.
I should be telling you he shot to stardom as a session stylist in New York, for the last 10 years, his one-off brand of fast-living, hell-raising, hard-rocking hairdressing set style trends on both sides of the Atlantic, and he’s just done the hair in the new Oasis video for band's next single Falling Down.
But instead, I got a call at the weekend telling me, “Brendan’s dead.”
He was 35.
We’re burying him on Thursday.
And may God let us meet again.

Thank you Alison for your tribute to my youngest brother Bren. Also, my thanks to Brendan's many friends who have called, sent messages and been there for him and us from both sides of the Atlantic, during his illness and this past week. ( especially Mr. J Depp ! ) How poignant and touching that you chose to include "Live Forever" which will be the closing song at Brendan's funeral service and the start of our celebration of his life which you so perfectly describe - As Brendan would want and say, Let's have a wicked time. Peace and Love. Bernie

Brendon had this amazing ability to make you feel fantastic, you could never be miserable in his company because he was so funny, so loving and when he laughed it was amazing . I am so sorry we didn,t get to meet again in our thirties but so grateful i had you in my life as a fun loving carefree teen at the Star Inn x
