David Cassidy Biography

Middle name is Bruce.

When he first started working for 'The Partridge Family' (1970-1974), no-one was aware that he could sing, until he told them.

Shocked his young fans by posing nude in the 11 May issue of ‘Rolling Stone’ magazine, in an act of rebellion against his wholesome image.

Took a three-year sabbatical, quitting both 'The Partridge Family' and touring, following his show at London’s White City stadium, on 30 May 1974, where a 14-year-old fan died of heart failure (she had an hereditary condition which was aggravated while at the concert).

Became the first personality to be merchandised globally.

Was the world's highest paid performer by age 21, breaking box office records in the largest arenas and stadiums in the world.

To date, his records have sold over 35 million copies worldwide and have been recognized with eighteen gold and platinum recordings including four consecutive multi-platinum LP's.

Officiated at the mock-marriage of a strawberry and a Cheerio at a promotional event, 2004.
