Bubbi Morthens, Laugardalsvöllur, Iceland (2007)

Bubbi Morthens (full name Ásbjörn Kristinsson Morthens; born 6 June 1956)[1] is an Icelandic singer and songwriter.[2] Aside from a lengthy solo career, he has been a member of such Icelandic bands as Utangarðsmenn and Egó.[3]

Personal life

Bubbi was born in Reykjavík to a Danish mother and a half-Norwegian, half-Icelandic father.[3] Bubbi is a common nickname for Ásbjörn.

He developed a strong addiction to cocaine and alcohol in his youth,[4] and later in life he became an advocate for sobriety and addiction prevention.[4] In 2018, he published the poetry book Rof about the sexual abuse he was a victim of as a child.[5]

In 1973 (at the age of 17), Bubbi became a migrant worker.[3]

In 2004, the documentary Blindsker about the life of Bubbi was released.[6]

In 2020, a musical based on the life of Bubbi, named Níu líf ("Nine Lives") was shown in Reykjavík City Theatre.[7]
