Lighthouse Family have shocked fans by revealing that they have gone their separate ways and cancelled their Mouth of the Tyne performance, with band member Paul Tucker 'heartbroken' by the outcome.
Paul met the band's lead singer, Tunde Baiyewu met when they were both studying at university in Newcastle in the early 90s and working in the same bar. They recorded demos of songs Paul had written years earlier, including what was going to be one of their biggest hits, Ocean Drive.
The duo got their big chart break in 1996 when another of their calling cards, Lifted, was re-released and stormed into the top 5. The song helped debut album Ocean Drive to go six times platinum by the end of 1997, with the title track and Goodbye Heartbreak also big chart hits.
