@attitudemag: @placeboofficial's Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal reflect on the androgynous image, cross-dressing and make-up that defined the band's early years, and on 'Nancy Boy', the single that sent them into the UK top five and onto Top of the Pops. The track came from their self-titled debut, which turns 30 this year. They describe how their gigs became a place of refuge for people who felt they fit in nowhere, the death threats they faced simply for representing who they are on stage, and why helping others feel seen has become the band's most lasting contribution. Placebo have been honoured at the 2026 @peugeot Attitude Pride Awards Europe, supported by @british_airways.
