He was never supposed to become a global icon. He didn’t have the polished image, the conventional voice, or the smooth rise to fame that defined many stars of his era. Instead, he emerged from smoke, steel, and struggle—a boy born into the industrial grit of Sheffield, whose voice carried something raw, something broken, and…
