Frankie Goes To Hollywood

Web Site user.tninet.se
Formed 1980 (Liverpool, England)
Group Members Holly Johnson (vocals), Paul Rutherford (vocals), Nasher Nash (guitar), Mark O'Toole (bass), Peter Gill (drums)
Jive 55 Favourite Songs Relax, The Power Of Love (from 'Welcome To The Pleasuredome' 1984)
What Are They Up To? Frankie Goes To Hollywood split acrimoniously with their record company, ZTT, who own the back catalogue, and are not in contact with each other. Holly Johnson has recently exhibited paintings at the Tate Gallery and Royal Academy, and seems to have had enough of the music biz. A fake Frankie Goes To Hollywood tried touring in Europe and USA, but was finally found out and disbanded in October 2001.
