Hollie Johnson (Frankie Goes to Hollywood) was a mate at senior school, but when we left school following our 'O'levels, went right off him when he dyed his hair white, and had a VERY weird mate called Pete Burns.............
Good friend of mine was an Engineer with OMD- he then circa 1991 actually played with them. A gig at Maine Road springs to mind, which was being broadcast live on Radio One. He knocked a drink on his keyboard and blew the stage......
Through this guy I also met Kym Marsh as a wannabe 15yr old, and had an incredulous phone conversation with Diana Ross! He worked on one of her albums a while back. I didn't believe him, so he rang her up and put me on the phone.
Another mate used to be in China Crisis, and a few weeks back I had a 30 second conversation with Gordon Strachan just before the Egypt game.
The best one though has to be bumping in to Jack Nicholson in Mexico 5 years ago, asking for his autograph for my mum, and he then proceeded to ask me all about England. Was a really nice guy and bought me a Marguerita.
Think thats it for now....
