Champagne Breakfast Everyday! | Stacey Wells and the Art of Rock ’n’ Roll Rebellion
Champagne, rebellion, and one hell of a performance.
My latest pop art, Champagne Breakfast Everyday!, celebrates the fabulous Ann-Margret and her unforgettable performance in The Who's 1975 rock opera Tommy.
Directed by Ken Russell, Tommy was a psychedelic explosion of music, outrageous imagery, and rock ’n’ roll rebellion. With a legendary cast including Roger Daltrey, Elton John, Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, and Ann-Margret, the film was unlike anything else.
And Ann-Margret? Absolutely brilliant!
Champagne, Madness & Rock ’n’ Roll
One of my favourite moments is Ann-Margret's wildly passionate, bizarre, and brilliantly theatrical champagne scene.
It's pure mid-'70s madness, with a mod-inspired, psychedelic edge. Glamour collides with excess as Ann-Margret delivers a performance that's sensual, chaotic, and completely uninhibited.
Champagne flows, emotions explode, and the television becomes part of the spectacle. It's outrageous, surreal, and impossible to forget.
Provocative, unapologetic, and gloriously out of control.
Champagne Breakfast Everyday! | The Art
I wanted to capture that unforgettable attitude in my painting, Champagne Breakfast Everyday!
Ann-Margret, champagne straight from the bottle, and that signature Wells shock value. Choosing such a radical, provocative scene was no accident. I love art that pushes boundaries, commands attention, and isn't afraid to be a little outrageous.
It's my tribute to a legendary performance and an era when rock ’n’ roll, Hollywood glamour, and outrageous creativity collided.
A Smashing Art Reveal!
And what better way to reveal the painting than with a little rock ’n’ roll theatrics?
In one of Tommy's unforgettable moments, Ann-Margret hurls a champagne bottle through the television screen. I recreated that iconic scene for my art reveal, with the flying bottle revealing my new painting, Champagne Breakfast Everyday!
A little bizarre? Absolutely!
But that's what made Tommy so brilliant.
For me, great art and great music have something in common. They take you somewhere, stir up memories, and leave you with something you never forget.
Cheers to Ann-Margret, The Who, and a little champagne-fuelled rebellion!
