Richard and Fred Fairbrass make a welcome return to Hearts of Oak and have at long last put pen to paper and written the story of Right Said Fred.Its been 30 years since they scored a global Number 1 hit with their debut single ‘I’m Too Sexy’, selling 30 million albums, being showered with industry awards, earning plaudits from admirers such as Madonna and Prince.Before that breakthrough, though, the brothers spent over a decade in London and New York, trying to make it in the music industry. Fred played guitar with Bob Dylan and Richard played bass in several David Bowie videos, with the brothers appearing on stage with Joy Division and Suicide, and on film with Mick Jagger. Once fame hit, the good times rolled, the substances mounted up and the groupies formed an orderly queue, but it wasn't long before the brothers realised that fame and fortune is not for everyone. In their autobiography they share so many stories and anecdotes of their time in the music industry, If you want to hear some of the highs and the lows then tune in to this interview and, of course, go get yourself a copy of the book!
