Davey Havok (born on November 20, 1975 in Rochester, New York) is the lead vocalist of the band AFI.

Influences

Havok cites many lead singers such as Freddie Mercury (of Queen), Robert Smith (of The Cure), Glenn Danzig (of The Misfits, Samhain, and Danzig), Peter Murphy (of Bauhaus), David Gahan (of Depeche Mode), Morrissey, Ian Curtis (of Joy Division), Ian MacKaye (of Minor Threat and Fugazi) and David Bowie as his influences.

Glitterboy Clothing Line

Glitter Boy Clothing was a short lived fashion line by Davey Havok put together in 2005, in collaboration with designers of the Serious clothing line. It was partly inspired by the 70's glam music scene, among other things.

Glitter Boy Clothing was canceled due to creative differences between Davey and Serious. However, on a side note, Havok has said that he is planning another clothing line for the future, but it will be done through a different company; and chances are that it will not be called Glitter Boy. According to Havok, the new line of clothing will be out in 2007.
