SOFT CELL - MADONNA SLEPT IN ALMOND'S JUNKIE HELL-HOLE

MADONNA SLEPT IN ALMOND'S JUNKIE HELL-HOLE

SOFT CELL frontman MARC ALMOND was forced to host superstar MADONNA in a prostitute and drug-ridden apartment block when she visited the U.K. in the 1980's. The Queen of Pop was about to embark on her first promotional tour in the country and used Almond's humble bedsit while he was away. And former drug-user Almond reveals he still hasn't gotten over the shame of his filthy apartment. He says, "It was a hell-hole. There were prostitutes upstairs, and junkies downstairs. "I've always felt ashamed she stayed in such a pit. If I'd known how big she'd become, I'd have sold my bedsheets on Ebay!"
