Frankie Goes To Hollywood 'to reunite after 20 years' for Eurovision Song Contest

Popular 80s band Frankie Goes To Hollywood could possibly reunite for this year's Eurovision Song Contest.

The group, which consists of Holly Johnson, Paul Rutherford, Mark O'Toole, Brian Nash and Peter Gill, were reportedly asked to perform at the competition in their home town of Liverpool.

All five of the band members haven't performed together in two decades. In 2004 and 2005, the group reunited without Holly and Brian for a few concerts.

And now, FGTH could be dusting off their old microphones to perform their hit songs Relax and Two Tribes.

A music insider claimed: "Eurovision organisers have put them at the top of their wish list and have asked them if they would consider performing.

"The group haven’t played together with lead singer Holly in more than 20 years, so it would be massive to get them back."

They added to The Sun: "To host Eurovision in Liverpool is massive for the city and the organisers want to make sure it is one to remember."

Frankie Goes To Hollywood was formed in Liverpool in 1980.

At the beginning of March, the UK's entry for the song contest was confirmed.

The latest performer to represent the UK will be singer Mae Muller, 25.

She's set to take to the stage at the Liverpool Arena in May with the 'empowering' track I Wrote A Song.

The singer is best known for featuring on Neiked's song Better Days alongside rapper Polo G, which was released in 2021. The track charted internationally following its release.

Mae - who's supported Little Mix on tour - has been selected to represent the nation at Eurovision, which will be hosted by the UK on behalf of last year's winning country Ukraine.

"OMG I've been waiting to say that for months, I literally, that has been on my lips and in my brain, in my soul, in my nails.

"I can't believe I've just said that, it's done, it's out there – I've known for like two months, I'm pretty sure, my timeframe is all over the place at the moment.

"It's been a hot minute and I love to chat."
