Biography
In 1971, whilst still in his teens, Dave Stewart secured a record deal as part of folk-rock band Longdancer, but they did not achieve commercial success. In the mid-1970s he was promoted through the progressive rock band 'Child' just as the market for progressive rock died. Stewart then spent several years living in squats in London, taking copious amounts of recreational drugs. Longdancer was a music group in England from the early 1970s. ...
Recreational drug use is the use of psychoactive drugs for recreational rather than medical or spiritual purposes, although the distinction is not always clear. ...
Promotional literature released in 2006 states that Stewart belonged to a band named Platinum Weird in 1973-1974. This group was in fact formed in 2004, with the 1970s history a story recently admitted to by Stewart as "80% true".[1][2] Platinum Weird is a musical collaboration formed in 2004 between Dave Stewart and Kara DioGuardi. ...
In late 1976, he was introduced to Annie Lennox by a mutual friend. Soon Stewart and Lennox became lovers. By 1977, the pair had teamed up with Sunderland musician Peet Coombes, releasing a single on Logo Records as The Catch. This band developed into The Tourists who enjoyed modest success, including a hit with a cover of the Dusty Springfield hit "I Only Want To Be With You". Ann Griselda Lennox (born 25 December 1954) is an Oscar, Brit, Grammy and Golden Globe award-winning Scottish pop musician and vocalist. ...
Peet Coombes (died 1997) was the guitarist and vocalist with Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart in the two pre-Eurythmics bands, The Catch, who only released one single, Borderline/Black Blood (1977, Logo) and the Tourists, who had quite a few UK hits in the late 70s. ...

Eurythmics period Both the Tourists and Stewart & Lennox's romantic liaison ended in 1980. At this point, Stewart began a new musical project with Lennox, Eurythmics. Eurythmics (often incorrectly referred to as "The Eurythmics") proved to be one of the most consistent pop-rock duos of the 1980s. When Eurythmics dissolved in 1990, Stewart immediately released a solo album with the Spiritual Cowboys. Throughout the 1990s, Stewart released albums, including a solo album, Greetings from the Gutter, in 1994. Stewart was married for several years to Siobhan Fahey of Bananarama with whom he has two children. When Fahey left Bananarama and formed Shakespears Sister, Stewart co-wrote some of the songs on Shakespears Sister album Hormonally Yours—including their biggest international hit "Stay"—under the pseudonym Manu Guiot.

Platinum Weird -
In 2006, Stewart resurrected Platinum Weird, a band he allegedly formed in the early 1970s in London with singer Erin Grace, but which was in reality created in 2004.[1] According to the fictional account, Erin was moody and mysterious, and disappeared shortly before the band's eponymous album was due to be released in 1974. Platinum Weird features noted songwriter Kara DioGuardi on vocals and the band has re-recorded some of the fictional original band's songs and some new ones as well for an upcoming album. The album was produced by John Shanks. Platinum Weird is a musical collaboration formed in 2004 between Dave Stewart and Kara DioGuardi. ...
