'''Vincent Aloysius Cosmos''', more simply known as '''Vince Cosmos''', was a [[Glam Rocker]] from the planet [[Glam]]. He was also secretly a [[detective]], fighting [[Martian (Enter Wildthyme)|Martian]] infiltrators on [[Earth]] with the help of his personal assistant [[Poppy Munday]] and Mr [[Glister (The Delightful Bag)|"Chuckles" Glister]].


== History ==
== Biography ==
Cosmos was born on Glam, but raised on Earth in [[East Dulwich]]. He stole a map with the location of the souls of all the Martians on Earth from his ex-manager, [[Arthur Corn]], after discovering that Arthur was a Martian. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Vince Cosmos: Glam Rock Detective (audio story)|Vince Cosmos: Glam Rock Detective]]'')
=== Early life ===
Vince was born on Glam, ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Vince Cosmos: Glam Rock Detective (audio story)}}) but was believed on Earth to be born in [[London|South London]] in [[1948]], to [[Albert Thomas Smedley]] and [[Gladys Irene Smedley]]. At that time, he was known as "'''Vincent Albert Smedley'''". He was raised in [[Hammersmith]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Biography (VC short story)}}) and then in [[Dulwich|East Dulwich]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Biography (VC short story)}}, [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Vince Cosmos: Glam Rock Detective (audio story)}}) after the [[death]] of his father. He was, as a child, known to be a dreamer who didn't have much going for him academically. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Biography (VC short story)}})


In [[1972]], Vince began his music career. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Hang onto Yourself (short story)|Hang onto Yourself]]'') On [[May Day]] of that year, Vince attended a party at [[Hobbe's End]] hosted by [[Iris Wildthyme]], along with a number of other celebrities. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[From Wildthyme with Love (novel)|From Wildthyme with Love]]'')
=== Music career ===
Despite this, he got a job in the [[advertising department]] of a local [[newspaper]], and in his free time, he performed in several [[band]]s, including [[The Scooters]] and [[Multiverse (band)|Multiverse]]. He tried to get into showbusiness with [[BBC television]], but failed.


In [[July]] [[1973]], Cosmos performed at the [[Hammersmith Odeon]] with the [[Tomorrow Twins]] playing support. In [[Simon (Enter Wildthyme)|Simon]]'s universe, this was his retirement concert. In another universe, he was attacked by [[Martian (Enter Wildthyme)|Martian Time Agents]] and rescued by Simon and [[Panda]]. After this he invited Panda and Simon to an after party to thank them for saving his life. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Enter Wildthyme (novel)|Enter Wildthyme]]'')
Later, going by the name "'''Vincent Elven Wishbone'''", he tried to make songs that used the "[[hippie]] sound", and he released an [[Mr Parley-Chin|album]] based on the works of [[J. R. R. Tolkien]], but when Tolkien denied Vince the rights to his works, Vince had to rework many of the songs. During the late [[1960s]], Vince took refuge in many [[pub]] bands. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Biography (VC short story)}})


In [[1978]], Vince Cosmos was depressed because he was no longer popular in the eyes of mainstream media. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Mother, Maiden, Crone (novel)|Mother, Maiden, Crone]]'')
==== As "Vince Cosmos" ====
In [[1971]], Vince signed up with [[Hell for Leather Promotions]], and the "notorious" [[Arthur Korns]] became his manager. At this time, he was now known as "Vince Cosmos", and soon he had a series of powerful dreams in which the [[Galactic Godhead]] spoke and dictated the lyrics of Vince's songs. He then released an album of space themed songs ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Biography (VC short story)}}) in [[1972]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Hang onto Yourself (short story)}})


By [[1979]], Glam Rock had long since declined in popularity, so he retired as both a musician and a Martian-fighting detective, returning to the planet formerly known as Glam. Iris Wildthyme travelled back in time to [[1976]], stole his map and gave it to [[Ministry for Alien Incursions and Ontological Wonders|MIAOW]], so that they could fight the Martians in his place. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Hang onto Yourself (short story)|Hang onto Yourself]]'')
This gave way to the "invention" of [[Glam Rock]], and Vince let go of his previous band, [[The Extraneous Organs]], and replaced them with a new band, [[The Sky Rockets in Flight]], and together, they released an album called [[Those Crazy Martian Cats]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Biography (VC short story)}})
 
On [[May Day]] of 1972, Vince and his personal assistant [[Poppy Munday]] attended a party at [[Hobbe's End]] hosted by {{Manning}}, along with a number of other celebrities. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|From Wildthyme with Love (novel)}})
 
Vince quickly became a household name, in part for his outrageous [[outfit]]s and persona, but his popularity also lead several [[assassination]] attempts. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Biography (VC short story)}})
 
It was believed that one such attempt was when he suffered from a near-fatal [[shooting]] at the [[Hammersmith Odeon]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Biography (VC short story)}}) in either 1972 ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Timothy Bold Interviews Vince Cosmos (short story)}}) or [[July]] [[1973]]. The truth of the assassination actually involved a pair of [[Martian Time Agents]] who were sent to assassinate Vince by [[Anthony Marvelle]], but this was foiled when [[Simon (Enter Wildthyme)|Simon]] and [[Panda]] warned Vince of the imminent attack, and Panda scared off the Martians due to there being an ancient [[legend]] of a panda who arrived in a [[Celestial Omnibus|scarlet chariot]] on [[Mars]]. Later, Vince invited Simon and Panda to an after party in gratitude. However, according to this account, these events were in an [[Alternate timeline (Enter Wildthyme)|alternate reality]], and that in [[N-Space|Simon's universe]], this was the final retirement performance of Vince Cosmos. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Enter Wildthyme (novel)}}) Another assassination attempt on Vince's life was supposed to happen while Vince was performing in front of [[Princess Margaret]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Biography (VC short story)}}) in the [[Royal Variety]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Timothy Bold Interviews Vince Cosmos (short story)}}) However, the explosives only went off after everybody left. Vince began making public statements about the existence of [[Meercock|Martians]] and the dangers they presented, but these were dismissed as everybody believed that Vince was becoming [[paranoia|paranoid]] and was failing to distinguish fact from fiction. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Biography (VC short story)}})
 
On [[22 August]] 1972, Vince was interviewed by [[Timothy Bold]] on the [[Radio One]] series ''[[Listen to the Stars!]]''. He told the listeners about his new album, "[[Vince Cosmos: Glam Rock Detective]]". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Timothy Bold Interviews Vince Cosmos (short story)}})
 
[[File:Bryan Only (Russell Harty).jpg|thumb|right|[[Bryan Only]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The B.O Bank Holiday Special! (short story)}})]]
On [[August bank holiday]] [[Monday]], Vince went on to have a television interview with [[Bryan Only]] on ''[[The Bryan Only Show]]'', and Bryan played a old [[black and white]] clip of Vince's first appearance on the show, where he performed the song "[[Pixies All Around Me]]", one of Vince's reworked J. R. R. Tolkien inspired songs. Taken aback, Vince denied the rumours that the song would be released, as he had felt he had put that chapter of his life behind him; ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The B.O Bank Holiday Special! (short story)}}) despite this, it was re-released without his consent, exploiting the artist's increase in popularity. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Biography (VC short story)}})
 
=== End of an era ===
After a "series of weird [[accident]]s, [[finance|financial]] [[disaster]]s, sackings and behind-the-scenes [[drama]]s", and the steady decline of Glam Rock as a genre, Vince and his band moved to the [[USA]] to perform, but this also ended in disaster. Shortly, Vince funded an entire [[The Diachronic Messiah|movie]], but it flopped and was ill-received. Vince returned to [[England]], where he tried to reclaim his fame, and he released an album entitled [[Gourd (album)|Gourd]], which was performed with edible [[instrument]]s. This album was recorded in [[Belgium]], and during his stay there, he attempted to cure his [[addiction]] to [[Night Nurse]] and [[Silk Cut]], and he also became fascinated by the works of [[novelist]] [[E. T. Horriblismus]]. This influenced him to release another album called [[A Sort of Morbid Panache]], but his time in the limelight had unfortunately ended. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Biography (VC short story)}})
 
By [[1978]], Vince was [[depression|depressed]] over the fact he wasn't in mainstream media any longer, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Mother, Maiden, Crone (novel)}}) but he decided to surprise everybody by performing one last time at [[Wembly]], where he performed his greatest hits. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Biography (VC short story)}})
 
==== Disappearance ====
In [[January]] [[1979]], it seemed for all intents and purposes that Vince had simply disappeared off the face of the planet. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Biography (VC short story)}})
 
The thing was, he genuinely ''had'' left the planet. [[Retirement|Retiring]] as both a musician and a Martian-fighting detective, Vince returned to the planet formerly known as Glam.

([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Hang onto Yourself (short story)}})
 
After Vince's disappearance, his assistant Mr [[Glister (The Delightful Bag)|"Chuckles" Glister]] only gave one statement about the incident, saying that Vince had "returned to the [[star]]s". It was known that the only person who actually knew where Vince had went was [[Poppy Munday]], Vince's [[Personal assistant|PA]] and founder of the [[Vince Cosmos fan club, South Shields chapter|Vince Cosmos fan club]], who resided in a [[canal boat]].
