Pete Shelley (born Peter Campbell McNeish; 17 April 1955 – 6 December 2018) was an English singer, songwriter and guitarist. He formed early punk band Buzzcocks with Howard Devoto in 1976, and became the lead singer and guitarist in 1977 when Devoto left. The group released their biggest hit “Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve)” in 1978. The band broke up in 1981 and reformed at the end of the decade. Shelley also had a solo career; his song “Homosapien” charted in Australasia and Canada in 1981 and 1982.

“Homosapien” is a song by the English musician Pete Shelley. It was the first single from his album of the same title, released in 1981, and his first single as a solo performer after rising to fame with Buzzcocks.
