In 1984, Frankie Goes To Hollywood went to UK number one with their first three singles. Relax became the second biggest-selling song of the 1980s, despite being banned by BBC Radio 1 after DJ Mike Read said its lyrics were "obscene". They split up in 1987 after falling out, and got back together in 2003 for VH1 show Bands Reunited but did not perform.

Their reunion is not a full concert, and highlights of the event will be shown during a special programme on BBC One on 8 May. A crowd of almost 30,000 are expected to watch the ceremony outside St George's Hall. The line-up also includes fellow Liverpool bands Atomic Kitten, the Lightning Seeds and the Real Thing, and past Eurovision winners Jamala and Conchita Wurst.Nash now conducts weddings and funerals as a celebrant, and has recently become a tour guide in Liverpool.
