His big dream was to follow in the footsteps of his great examples David Bowie and Scott Walker and to make the ‘single’ an icon of the record industry in their style. He succeeded in this with flying colors when he released the song ‘Tainted Love’ in 1981, which immediately reached the top of the UK Chart and became the best selling single of the year.
Singles became his specialty and a total sale of 30 million records and albums says enough about his musical qualities. In his upcoming “Chaos and the Hits” tour, he will perform his biggest hits in addition to songs from his 24th studio album ‘Chaos and a Dancing Star’.
