Henry Rollins

Henry Rollins (born Henry Lawrence Garfield, February 13, 1961), is an American singer, songwriter, author, actor, raconteur, and radio and television personality. He first gained national prominence as the fourth lead singer of Black Flag, replacing Dez Cadena in the late summer of 1981, and debuting on the band’s full-length debut album, *Damaged*. After Black Flag’s breakup in August of 1986, Rollins started a solo career with his solo debut, ‘’Hot Animal Machine’’, and formed a backup band that became the Rollins Band in 1987.

Since 2004, Rollins has retired full-time from music, concentrating on spoken word performances and other creative endeavors.
