~Stefan Olsdal is the sexiest member of Placebo. ;P
~Stefan Alexander Bo Olsdal was born on March 31, 1974, in Göteborg, Sweden. [That means as of now he's 33 yrs old--making him the youngest member of the band.]
~He moved to Luxembourg when he was young & went to the International School of Luxembourg, where, as previously discussed, fellow band member Brian Molko went to school.
~He began playing music in the school's orchestra in 1987--the drums, specifically.
~He finished high school in Sweden & went to college at the Musicians' Institute [sounds like a mental asylum for the musically insane, lol] in London.
~~~
~Stefan is openly gay.
~Besides playing bass guitar, he also plays keyboards & provides [sexy] back-up vocals for live shows.
~He has a 'side project,' called Hotel Persona [which I think he shares w/ his boyfriend?, David Amen, & some other bloke], an electro/dance..ish band.
~He introduced Robert Schultzberg, his schoolmate, to be Placebo's first drummer.
