Agreed. But then we all know it, so....and we've talked about it now. Now, what nobody is talking about is him being HIV positive. 1991 to present day...32 years and counting. How is he still alive? And what can other HIV positive sufferers learn from how he's survived?
Often, the mockery and malice is so evident underneath the honeyed words. I encounter a lot more in the comment section than I would have thought. I wonder if the same few people are making lots of accounts and spouting these insults and innuendos disguised as praise? Or is there a group of people who get paid to do this? Anyway I know that "love" is an acronym and I don't think it has a positive meaning. I wish the same for you as you and your peers wish for Holly.
Those who had abuser him so badly, physically, mentally and spiritually, and also robbed him. If you want tó know What happened to Holly read Boy George autobiography!
Always truly amazes me how different someone's speaking and singing voice can sound. Holly's singing voice should not be kept quiet..its too fantastic !!!
Liverpool is my favourite city in the UK. The people are so friendly, and there's a kind of happy feeling, a buzz that makes me happy and want to return again and again. I think the locals are so proud of their city, and heritage and what a heritage. Pop culture and talent are second to none. When I first heard, 'Relax', I loved it instantly. So different and exciting, it was as though FGH came from a different planet. Brilliant band with great music. Hope Holly and the Boys are OK. Still look amazing.
I was there at the 80s, Frankie were huge, they shined brightly briefly, it was an exciting time for music with MTV etc revolutionising how music was consumed....The release of Michael Jackson's Thriller video was the standout moment, I still recall being at a nightclub on the first friday night of the videos release, everyone just stood mesmerised staring at the big screen, there's been nothing like it since its a real shame we dont have hood music anymore, when Harry Styles and Taylor Swift win Grammy's you know somethings not right, The Beatles never won a Grammy and Marvin Gaye only managed 1 award.
So 20 years has finally mellowed him. He was a right absolute cvnt to the rest of the boys on VH1's Bands Reunited back in 2003. It was a real disappointment back then. Glad he's finally got the bee out of his bonnet.
wow, time was moving on on him... Worked so hard... I am happy that they came back together and grew up, left their stuff and stress behind... Welcome back FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD!
LOL. Nothing has changed between Holly and the rest of the band. They still hate him. If you're one of the fake fans who are stalking Holly to keep his feet firmly on the ground, you know the truth. If not, read Boy George's new autobiography, which supposedly reveals what the band secretly did to Holly Johnson.
Not only one time, right? First, when the band members screwed him with the whole FGTH thing, robbed him, exploited him, abused him for years and then crippled him! Then, they sued him, tried to charge him for the Liverpool album and accused him of sexual harassment Paul, Mark and Nasher, right? They've seized or auctioned off everything he owned, they've got everything under control online, they've got him under surveillance. And of course they did all this in secret so that I could continue to play the poor, duped boys. While Mark and Paul keep it a secret their relationship. I bet Mark wasn't even of age when they started.
Perhaps because he is free on stage and not bullied and surrounded by toxic people who want to destroy him at all costs. I was talking about Mark, Paul, Nasher and their feminazis friends and their whores.
Do you mean that literally? When Mark, Nasher and Paul conspired against Holly, and while one of them was distracting Holly attention, Mark kicked him in the balls with a steel-toed boot to render him impotent. Is that what you meant when you called him a legend?
I don't get it, I mean I get that Holly and the band have aged but I don't get the absence of Trevor Horn:-( I've probably missed a lot of what's gone on here but please help me as I haven't been in the Country and kept up with stuff for a while. The 12" version of rage hard has been a regular listen for me since the mid 80's and the 12" version of Two Tribes is my favourite tune of all time.
Rage Hard 12" was a masterclass in showcasing the power of the synclavier. Glad you have listened to that version as many people are oblivious to the 12" of Rage Hard and only know Two Tribes or Relax. Pamela Stevenson is superb as the narrator.
There comes a point in everyone's life when they have to lie. I think Holly is an honest person, but what he said about the others band members was a cliché. He must have needed the publicity before his tour. I guess he had no choice. I wasn't amused in the least by this reunion. Hopefully at least financially it was worth it to him.
Don't compare him to a dog. He was so good looking and very sexy. I think after going through so much horror, harassment and abuse, he looks pretty good.
Funny thw politics of the euro vision contest, this year it happens in Liverpool, ok for this very famous city but, the UK is not in the EU, is not an European country, they refuse and choose not to be.
Well, when you consider that he was diagnosed with HIV in1991 and has been kept alive by medication for this ever since, I'd say he looks pretty damned good !
Lmao, once he left fgth he refused to allow Any of the band to perform under the fgth name, he himself took up a solo career. They had half a dozen hits that were constantly reissued over the year's and now virtually forgotten he's resorting to eurovision
Frankly, it seems to me that the FGTH members never have any love or respected for Holly. I can understand why he didn't give them his permission to use the name he didn't owe them anything. If they really wanted to, they could have continued under a new name "The Lads" or something like that.
@@tinkler4Not funny! You mean that after Mark, Nasher, Paul sued Holly, got him to pay for the Liverpool album and auctioned off everything Holly owned he was forced to move back to Liverpool? Who kept hím captivity, who controls his social media, where is he now? Why are these bastards walking free? Why Mark and Paul protected?
by George, said Paul...sitting on the john...where did my ring go..? so there it is ! the haaahd lesson. If Brian Epstein were still around.. he'd say : don't you know, Holly..? They always work the living crap out of Liverpudlians !
What nobody is talking about is the fact that Holly Johnson is such a phenomenal singer
Agreed. But then we all know it, so....and we've talked about it now. Now, what nobody is talking about is him being HIV positive. 1991 to present day...32 years and counting. How is he still alive? And what can other HIV positive sufferers learn from how he's survived?
I know right! He still sounds fucking amazing!
His voice and talent is amazing. Also best dressed.
Protease inhibitor class drugs hit the market in 1995. And have kept getting better since then.
Power of Love is such a beautiful song. Still stands the test of time
Holly has a stunning voice... loved his music...
Give the people what they want? We want Frankie! All 5 of you!
Such talent creative baffles me. I think you are born with this - it's something you cannot learn.
Absolute legend!!!
Holly was class and he had some cool dance movies
Loved his solo album - Blast (love train/ Americanos) !!! Remember it on my cassette in my car in the late 80's... thx HJ!
Legend!
In tears... takes me right back to the 80s, ragging my XR3 around the back lane's of North Yorkshire, thinking i was the kiddy... ( i wasn't ) 😁
Holly. Thanks for the great songs. And you still sing great, What a voice. Holly, I love you🫶

God Bless You Holly ! A devoted fan since 1980’s ..
Thank you for sharing this.
So great to have this group perform again, brings great memories.
Those who had abuser him so badly, physically, mentally and spiritually, and also robbed him. If you want tó know What happened to Holly read Boy George autobiography!
Special singer, special band from a great time... The power of love is just stunning.
Whoop Whoop Legends Lets See & Hear More Of Frankie Goes To Hollywood Live Please.Fantastic Band Of The 80's I Luv Yaaa :)
I think Holly is very truthful and says it as it is respect to the man who is forever frankie! ❤
Welcome to the pleasuredome is a seminal album...exudes class music in abundance.
Always truly amazes me how different someone's speaking and singing voice can sound.
Holly's singing voice should not be kept quiet..its too fantastic !!!

Great comments and I grew up in the 80s too and had exactly the same experience and memories too!
You need to do your research better as The Beatles won 6 back in the day and more than 10 in total. Also, M G won at least 2 Grammys.
Love this man 🙏🏾🤍🙏🏾
What does this word mean? Do you use the word love in its traditional sense or is it an acronym?
So 20 years has finally mellowed him. He was a right absolute cvnt to the rest of the boys on VH1's Bands Reunited back in 2003. It was a real disappointment back then. Glad he's finally got the bee out of his bonnet.
💕 love holly ❤❤❤
the return of the 80's legends
wow, time was moving on on him... Worked so hard... I am happy that they came back together and grew up, left their stuff and stress behind... Welcome back FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD!

Holly Johnson is the best singer Frankie Goes To Hollywood had
Love Holly
And, now the hunt is on - where can I watch BBC in Denmark in October ?!?
Brilhante músic ..wish him well
Hello from Germany. Holly Johnson has had to survive hard times and that's why he is the "Phoenix from the ashes" for me. 😎
Not only one time, right? First, when the band members screwed him with the whole FGTH thing, robbed him, exploited him, abused him for years and then crippled him! Then, they sued him, tried to charge him for the Liverpool album and accused him of sexual harassment Paul, Mark and Nasher, right? They've seized or auctioned off everything he owned, they've got everything under control online, they've got him under surveillance. And of course they did all this in secret so that I could continue to play the poor, duped boys. While Mark and Paul keep it a secret their relationship. I bet Mark wasn't even of age when they started.
only wish USA could have him perform sigh esp like Clearwater or tampa FL esp ST Pete FL
If you ever saw,2 different personalities in one person its holly Johnson. Absolutely 💯 different on stage
Perhaps because he is free on stage and not bullied and surrounded by toxic people who want to destroy him at all costs. I was talking about Mark, Paul, Nasher and their feminazis friends and their whores.
love a bit of holly!
I find it a bit spiky if I stuff it down my pants.
Yeah, it's great at Christmas - especially with Ivy !
Holly is a legend
Do you mean that literally? When Mark, Nasher and Paul conspired against Holly, and while one of them was distracting Holly attention, Mark kicked him in the balls with a steel-toed boot to render him impotent. Is that what you meant when you called him a legend?

I used to have abt 12 x12 inch records od FGH records in my 200 collection untill some one stole my whole collection 😊
no follow up??? more concerts?? an album???
..skipped right past the fairies in order to focus solely on Sally
The awful FLAMES shirt...wtf
There comes a point in everyone's life when they have to lie. I think Holly is an honest person, but what he said about the others band members was a cliché. He must have needed the publicity before his tour. I guess he had no choice. I wasn't amused in the least by this reunion. Hopefully at least financially it was worth it to him.
He still has a Yorkshire terrier pet shop boy face when he isn't wearing glasses
Don't compare him to a dog. He was so good looking and very sexy. I think after going through so much horror, harassment and abuse, he looks pretty good.
Funny thw politics of the euro vision contest, this year it happens in Liverpool, ok for this very famous city but, the UK is not in the EU, is not an European country, they refuse and choose not to be.
He doesn’t look well
Well, when you consider that he was diagnosed with HIV in1991 and has been kept alive by medication for this ever since, I'd say he looks pretty damned good !

Or Frankie Goes Back To Liverpool. 🤭

so there it is !
the haaahd lesson.
If Brian Epstein were still around..
he'd say :
don't you know,
Holly..?
They always work the living crap out of Liverpudlians !
So we can blame Holly’s obsession with seaman on his father then👀
His dad was a seaman and Holly loves semen..not exactly the same
Are we really still making shitty jokes about this stuff? It's 2023 ffs.
Grow up colin
