Leon Hendrix

Leon Hendrix is the younger brother of Jimi Hendrix, who was arguably the greatest rock guitarist ever to live and over Jimi’s hugely successful, yet short career, he managed to shape the future of rock guitar playing probably more than anyone. It is now the 50th Anniversary since Jimi last toured the UK.

Throughout Jimi’s career, Leon was Jimi’s companion and for the first time in the UK, he is to embark upon a theatre tour which will combine Leon performing, as part of The Jimi Hendrix Experience; an astounding band who will play all Jimi’s hits and more. As well as recalling his first-hand experiences when sharing in the recording, touring, Woodstock the legendary festival and private life of a true rock legend.

Leon’s career has itself been a chequered one! He was placed in an orphanage when his mother died and his father proved unable to cope, on leaving it, he formed a band with his older brother. After the untimely demise of Jimi, he experienced a difficult period including drug & alcohol addiction and a spell in prison before becoming a successful musician in his own right.
