No auf wiedersehen, Pat for this icon of the Eighties music scene

Pat Sharp - there's no denying it, the man is an icon.

- 

He's known for presenting on MTV in the 1980s, for fronting Fun House in the 1990s, but is perhaps even more famous for having a mullet.

Not any mullet mind; nothing as subtle as the barnet favoured by a youthful Andre Agassi or Rob Lowe in his 1980s Brat Pack phase.

Nope, this was the granddaddy of mullets, right up there with Chris Waddle and Billy Ray Cyrus. A gloriously highlighted fake blonde bouffant, fluffy on top, gelled into submission at the sides and cascading right the way down the back of his Hawaiian shirt.

My friend Jarrad was once mistaken for him; he was absolutely mortified. But in the 1980s, old Pat was music TV royalty.

He might have won the worst haircut award at the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party - but was also voted in the top three DJs. By the late Eighties, he and his Capital colleague Mick Brown as the duo Pat and Mick made more than a million quid for charity with the thoroughly unlistenable singles Let's All Chant and I Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet.

So where is this one-man style movement now? Does he run a bar in Benidorm? Can he be booked for £100 a time for your kid's roller disco party?
