Frankie Goes To Hollywood: Where's Holly?

“We were a bunch of boys, bent on getting pissed and having a laugh. We used to dress [The Lads] up in leather clothes and S&M stuff and they loved it. It was meant to be fun: ‘Let’s drop a little acid and go nuts.’ It was controlled mayhem.”

"We were discovering our sexuality at the same time that the world was. We were at the forefront of that, making sense of gay rights.”

Paul Rutherford, in a Guardian article marking the 30th anniversary - and deluxe re-release - of Frankie's album, Welcome To The Pleasuredome,

Paul Lester, the ghastly journalist who wrote it, also talks to Paul Morley and Trevor Horn. 

But there is no Holly Johnson.

I wonder why...
