What a cool bastard and musical genius. I'm having an 80s night.

I still love reading that story. Talk about reading the right newspaper on the right day.

Andrew Ivan Bell grew up in the Dogsthorpe area in Peterborough.

Career
In 1985, while selling women's shoes and performing in a band called the Void, he responded to a newspaper advert that was looking for a singer. Vince Clarke had been Bell's "hero"; Bell was successful in his audition and together they formed the group Erasure. The pair sold over 25 million albums worldwide.
