About

Placebo ( plə-SEE-boh) are a British alternative rock band, formed in London in 1994 by vocalist-guitarist Brian Molko and bassist-guitarist Stefan Olsdal, who have remained the two constant members, with three full-time drummers throughout the band's existence.

Molko and Olsdal were joined by drummer Robert Schultzberg for a demo, a split single, and their eponymous debut album in 1996. Shortly after the album's release, Steve Hewitt replaced Schultzberg on drums. Placebo gained exposure in 1997 after the single "Nancy Boy" (a song notorious at the time for its gender-bending content) became popular in the UK. The band stood out amongst the Britpop scene of the time because of their androgynous appearance and musical content, as well as Molko's distinctive voice and lyrics which openly discussed sexuality, mental health, and drug use. Their 1998 album Without You I’m Nothing was a massive international breakthrough, going platinum in the UK and gold in France. It spawned a pair of UK top-five singles for the band, "Pure Morning" and "You Don't Care About Us", as well as the No. 11 hit "Every You Every Me".

Hewitt left Placebo in 2007 due to personal and musical differences. He was replaced the following year by Steve Forrest. Placebo released two albums with Forrest, who left in 2015 to pursue his own musical career. Since 2015, Placebo have officially been a duo, though augmented with studio and live musicians.

Placebo have collaborated with various artists over the years, including David Bowie, Justin Warfield, Michael Stipe, and Alison Mosshart. Placebo have released eight studio albums (all of which have reached the Top 20 in the UK), recorded 15 top-40 singles in the UK, and have sold around 14 million records worldwide.

Placebo (prononcé en anglais : [pləˈsiːbəʊ], [pləˈsiːboʊ]) est un groupe de rock alternatif britannique, originaire de Londres, en Angleterre. Il est formé en 1994 par Brian Molko et Stefan Olsdal, qui sont d'abord accompagnés par Robert Schultzberg jusqu'en 1996, puis Steve Hewitt jusqu'en 2007, et Steve Forrest jusqu'en 2015.

Le style musical et les textes de Placebo se distinguent par une inclination romantique exacerbée. Autrefois allié à une imagerie provocante et excessive alimentant l'image sulfureuse du groupe, ce romantisme exubérant s'inscrit désormais dans une attitude plus introvertie. Opérant un changement progressif de son image et de sa musique, le groupe peut être affilié au punk rock pour ses débuts, puis au rock alternatif et à la power pop.

Placebo gagne une reconnaissance internationale, ayant vendu en 2011 plus de onze millions d'exemplaires de ses albums à travers le monde, et est connu du grand public pour ses titres Nancy Boy, Pure Morning, Every You Every Me, Special K, The Bitter End, Protège-moi, Meds ou encore Song to Say Goodbye, et certaines reprises comme Johnny and Mary (Robert Palmer) ou Running Up that Hill (Kate Bush).

Le huitième album du groupe Never Let Me Go sort le 25 mars 2022. Le premier single Beautiful James est sorti le 17 septembre 2021.
