Kele Okereke - Bloc Party, heartbreak and partying at Trade in the noughties
The final episode of Season 1 has landed, and who better to wrap up with, than the lead singer of Bloc Party?!
Kele Okereke has led a fascinating life: his parents are Nigerian immigrants, and he only came out to them aged 26. Bloc Party played at Glastonbury last year, though Kele's life has changed massively since the band's early success of the noughties.
His origin stories are about his heady clubbing days, the heartbreak he's been through and how giving their demo to Franz Ferdinand changed his life.
