Jimmy Somerville's Height
5ft 2 (157.5 cm)
Scottish singer from The Communards. He once said "Most of my life I've lied about my height. I've always said I'm 5'5". I'm actually 5'4"". He also mentioned "I am five foot four inches tall with red hair and, as a teenager, would look like a little girl."

I knew Jimmy’s small, but 5ft2 for a guy is TINY! It’s equivalent to a girl of 4ft9.

He was often described as 5ft 1in in the 1980s. I'll give him 5ft 1.5in.

Wow, he's a tiny wee fella ... with a BIG voice! I don't know why I didn't realise. I saw Jimmy's video of "Don't Leave Me This Way" singing opposite Sarah Jane Morris and I sort of assumed she was a giant.
