Information About

Holly Johnson




Actively involved in the Liverpool Punk Rock / New Wave scene, Johnson played bass with Big In Japan and released several solo singles on the Eric's label, before finding fame as the lead singer and lyricist of Frankie Goes To Hollywood , who enjoyed considerable controversy and commercial success during their heyday in the early 1980s .

Holly left the group in 1987 after growing increasingly unhappy with their musical direction, but was immediately the subject of an injunction from the group's record company, ZTT Records , which cited his prior recording agreement and effectively barred him from releasing solo material with new label MCA Records .
