BRiaN'S WoRLD: Where Are They Now?
Being on this page does NOT -in ANY way- mean that the person(s) included is/are a has-been or washed up or anything of the sort. Think of it only as a locator for additional info on your past (and maybe current) faves. I'm sure you sometimes wonder what happened to those stars of the 80s. Well, some of them made it onto other things and continued their acting and musical careers into the 90s. Some of them changed careers completly. Hopefully you can find that special 80s person who you remember fondly in the list. Good Luck!

Background Info:
Kim Wilde was born in Chiswick, West London on November 18th, 1960.
She moved with her family to Hertfordshire at the age of 9 where she was educated at Presdales School, Ware, before completing a foundation course at St. Albans College of Art & Design in 1980.
Kim was signed to Mickie Most's RAK Records in 1980 and released her first single, Kids In America in January 1981.
The debut album Kim Wilde followed later that year and spawned a further two hits, Chequered Love and Water On Glass. Kim recorded a total of three albums for RAK Records before signing to MCA Records in the summer of 1984.
Seven subsequent albums for MCA Records have included international hits such as Another Step (Closer To You), You Came, Never Trust A Stranger, Four Letter Word, If I Can't Have You and You Keep Me Hangin' On - which gave Kim her first USA Number 1 single in 1987. This same period corresponded with Kim's development as a songwriter having written or co-written the majority of the MCA LP's including many of the above hit singles.
Kim received the Best Female Vocalist Award from the British Phonographic Industry in the United Kingdom in 1983 and has since received two further nominations in this category. She has also received numerous silver, gold and platinum records from all over the world.
Kim has undertaken five solo tours and has performed as opening act for Michael Jackson in 1988 and for David Bowie in 1990.
Kim appeared in the English production of the musical Tommy from February 1996 to February 1997.
On September 1st, 1996, Kim married Hal Fowler. On January 3rd, 1998 she gave birth to Harry Tristan. Two years later, Rose Elisabeth was born.
In 1999, she recorded a series of programs for Channel 4, entitled Better Gardens.
On January 13th, 2001 she was singing live again for the first time in years, as a guest star in a show by Fabba.

Y
Name: YAZOO (YAZ)
Members: Vince Clarke - Synthesizers, Alison Moyet - Vocals
Current Residence: England
Works: Upstairs At Eric's (1982), You And Me Both (1984)
Notes: Vince Clarke was a founding member of Depeche Mode, but left after the release of their first album. Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet were Yazoo. They were named Yaz in the US because of a shitty band that already went by the name Yazoo here in the US. In any case, they did two amazing records and then split up. Currently, Alison is doing solo projects and Vince is still in Erasure and also does various other projects. Check out their pages for more info.
