Jethro Tull musician has sex swap op

A former member of seventies band Jethro Tull has had a sex-change operation and become a woman called Dee.

Once bearded keyboard player David Palmer now has long blonde hair and wears make-up and black leggings, reports the Evening Standard.

She broke the news to flute playing frontman Ian Anderson by saying: "There's something I need to get off my increasingly ample chest."

Anderson stood by his former bandmate, saying: "I found it difficult at first but I fully support his decision."

Palmer, 66, a former soldier in the Royal Horse Guards and Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music, is set to embark on a solo career.

She said: "I want to be judged on my musical ability alone, and nothing else."

Her desire to change sex had been an "open secret" in the music business for many years, she said, but she did not go ahead with the operation until the death of wife Margaret nine years ago.

Palmer lives in Hove, East Sussex, but is currently in the Spanish resort of Lanzarote, recording her first solo album before launching a British tour next month.

She said: "I've felt like this since the age of three. It's not just wimps who want to do this. To be a girl, it goes a lot deeper than that. Yes, you are speaking to the person you thought I was - the keyboard player in Jethro Tull."

Jethro Tull was formed in 1968 and had a string of hits including Living In The Past and Teacher. Palmer left the band in 1980.

well, if it was a publicty move (which I kind of doubt) then it is the most serious case of taking one for the team I have seen.

BobChezule · 01-23-2004, 09:48 AM

Boy, that is something else. However, I can't help but be curious about what she looks like now.

Nydahl · 01-23-2004, 09:57 AM

J-Tull is my the most favourite music group.I have every single song they ever recorded including some demo shots from very early beginings of the group.
David PAlmer is great player and I don't fucking care about his decision
J-TUlls are legend

don't wait for another MInstrel in the gall or Heavy Horses - their sound is not what it used to be.I don't like "dot com" or "Roots to Branches" too much

hershie · 01-23-2004, 10:22 AM

I saw them play at the Montreal Forum in 1978. They were really good live. I think there was a bit of a riot outside and my buddy got busted selling acid at that concert.

TomWaits · 01-23-2004, 10:39 AM

They are the best!

Albums like Thick as a brick, Minstrel in the Gallery, Aqualung, Heavy Horses, Benefit and Standup can you rock your world.

I'm going to see them in London the 21feb and in Oxford the 22feb.

Maybe I'll ask Ian how David is doing...

I could not agree more. They are a fabulous band, although nowadays I believe Ian Anderson is the only original member left (he's clearly the most important though).

I've seen Jethro Tull twice - I am only 21 so I am usually surrounded by a bunch of older people whose faces and bodies show the results of a lifetime of drug abuse. But they are awesome - a lot of those older people tell me that Tull used to be even better back in the day, which is pretty impressive.

I always like watching their guitar player... he's like 80 years old and still shreds.
