Biography of 2-D

INTRO

2-D is a fictional musician and

member of the British virtual band
Gorillaz. 2-D was born on May 23,
1978.

his days at St. Wilfred's school.
His father, David Tusspot, worked as
a mechanic and owner of the
Tusspot's Fairground. His mother,
Rachel Tusspot, was a nurse who
supplied Stuart with headache pills
from his tree accident.
While Stuart wasn't a very
intelligent boy, he was
known as a kind person
and had a general love of
music.
His parents recall a little ten-year-
old Stuart bouncing around in his
room listening to The Clash, Agustus
Pablo, The Human League (this
band was his favorite) and many
other musicians of the sort.
He hit his head when falling from a
tree at the age of eleven, causing
all of his hair to fall out. When it
came back it was a deep 'azure
blue'.
When he was 19, the drama in his life
began, as hooligan Murdoc Niccals, age 31,
purposefully crashed his Vauxhall Astra
through the wall of Uncle Norm's Organ
Emporium, where Stuart had been
working, in an attempt to ram-raid it and
steal the synths.
Murdoc's bumper crashed into
Stuart's face, landing him with an 8-
ball fracture also known as
'hyphema'
Although he could still see through his
injured eye. Murdoc was arrested and
sentenced to carry out 30,000 hours (1,250
days) of community service as well as care
for the vegetablized Stuart for 10 hours
every week.
One year later, in a poor attempt to
impress some women, Murdoc performed a
360 in a Tesco car park in Nottingham with
his vehicle.
This sent Stuart crashing through the
windscreen, hitting his head on the
curb, fracturing his other eye. When
Stuart awoke after sliding through the
cement for about a mile, he turned to
look at Murdoc. This was the moment
when Murdoc knew he had his front
man. "A blue-haired, black-eyed god"
Murdoc recalls. Murdoc nicknamed Stuart
'2-D', which stands for the "Two Dents" in
his head. Rather amusingly
Stuart adored his new nickname, dropping
the use of his birth name completely and
even signing formal letters with the first
name "Two" and surname "D". 2-D would
appear to have a chronic history of violent
blows to the head, coupled with a
complete lack of natural intelligence.
Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett
commented on this, saying that he has a
blank sheet of paper where a brain should
be. Despite this, he serves as Gorillaz's
lead vocalist.
