Artist: Frankie Goes To Hollywood

English pop group, formed in Liverpool, UK in 1980.The band gained notoriety following the banning of Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax by BBC 1 Radio DJ Mike Read. "Relax" was a smash hit across Europe and the USA. "Frankie Says" T-shirts became the fashion statement of the year. Each subsequent FGTH release that year - two singles and a double-LP - went straight in at number one in England.Their follow-up album "Liverpool" came out in October 1986 but failed to reach the sale levels of "Welcome To The Pleasuredome". In 1987 Johnson left the band to pursue a solo career. Following litigation, ZTT lost their claim of contract-breaking against Johnson. Rutherford quit too, leaving a diminished group who subsequently disbanded.The original line-up reunited to play one song, "Welcome To The Pleasure Dome", during the National Lottery's Big Eurovision Welcome concert on 7th May 2023.
