Wendy O. Williams (May 28, 1949 – April 6, 1998) was the lead singer for the punk band the Plasmatics, whose stage theatrics included blowing-up equipment, near nudity, and chainsawing guitars.
Dubbed The Queen of Shock Rock, Williams was widely considered as a controversial and radical female singer. She often sported a trademark Mohawk haircut.
Williams was nominated in 1985 for a Grammy in the Best Female Rock Vocal category during the height of her band's popularity.
