Frontman for British pop phenomenon Frankie Goes to Hollywood, singer Holly Johnson born in Liverpool; in 1977 he joined the short-lived Big in Japan , and after issuing solo singles, &quot;Yankee Rose&quot; and &quot;Hobo Joe,&quot; he created conceptual band Frankie Goes to Hollywood as a vehicle in 1980. They rose to superstardom on the strength of the singles &quot;Relax,&quot; &quot;Two Tribes,&quot; and &quot;The Power of Love.&quot; Their #1 UK 1984 debut, Welcome to the Pleasuredome, was also well-received by the press, ; after a less successful 1986 effort , Liverpool, Holly Johnson left and spent the next several years locked in a court battle against label ZTT, winning his artistic freedom , the first artist to do so ; he returned to music in 1989 with his solo debut Blast, which topped the U.K. charts and turned Platinum. Dreams That Money Can&#39;t Buy followed two years later after the Remix album HOLLELUJAH . In October 1991 the openly homosexual singer discovered he&#39;d contracted HIV, a subject frankly detailed in his 1994 autobiography A Bone in My Flute. Also a successful painter, in 1996 Johnson exhibited his work in London; forming his own record label, Pleasuredome, in 1999 he issued his third LP, Soulstream. Fifteen years later, the single &quot;Follow Your Heart&quot; remixed by Frankie Knuckles and Eric Kupper (and later legend Tom Moulton) arrived along with the full-length LP Europa. The album and accompanying tour marked 30 years since the release of Frankie&#39;s Welcome to the Pleasuredome.
