David Marchand (born David Anthony Passaro on November 20, 1975, in Rochester, New York) more commonly known by the stage name Davey Havok, is the lead vocalist of the band AFI.

Biography

He was born of Italian-American ancestry in New York. At a very young age his father passed away; and as his mother later re-married, he took on the surname of his stepfather; Marchand. When Havok was five years old, he and his family moved from Rochester to Ukiah, California. There, Davey attended Catholic school in Ukiah until the eighth grade.

Sexuality

Davey's sexuality has been the subject of much debate between fans. Some have claimed that Havok is homosexual or, in some cases, bisexual. There have been numerous claims that Davey has come out to the public, though such claims are always uncited and discredible.

In fact AFI, in most cases Jade Puget, have made numerous statements in regards to Havok's sexuality via their official messageboard and MySpace. For example Puget stated;

"Sorry To Burst Your Bubble... but Davey is not gay. Or bi. Get over it. Just because your friend heard he was gay or you read it on some message board doesn't make it so. However, since I've made posts like this repeatedly over the years and people still refuse to believe he's not gay, I guess we'll have to keep hearing about it ad infinitum. I say we talk about Fritch. Or Smith. They're DEFINITELY gay, I caught them holding hands and plus they went to the prom together. Also, my friend heard YOU were gay. "
