Oliver Simfeat. Jimmy Somerville - Hideous
Oliver Sim, vocalist and bass guitarist of The xx, has revealed that he has been living with HIV since he was 17.
Sim spoke candidly about his diagnosis in a statement shared alongside his new solo song “Hideous”, the first single from his forthcoming debut solo album, Hideous Bastard. Produced by Jamie xx, Hideous Bastard draws inspiration from Sim’s own life experiences.
“Early on in the making of my record, Hideous Bastard, I realised that I was writing a lot about fear and shame. I imagine that might paint a picture of a dark, “woe is me” sounding album, but in recent years I’ve become a firm believer that the best antidote to these feelings can be bringing them to the surface and shedding some light on them,” Sim said in the statement.
