With Thompson Twins, Tom Bailey made the Hot 100 eleven times between 1983 and 1989, but he hasn’t performed a single one of those hits – “Hold Me Now,” “Lay Your Hands on Me” and “King for a Day” among them – since 1987.

That will change on August 21 when he begins the Retro Futura tour, headlining with Howard Jones.

Tom’s bandmate Alannah Currie was his girlfriend, and later, his wife (they married in 1991 and split in the early ’00s). Many of their songs drew impetus from their relationship; “Hold Me Now” is almost a counseling session, with Tom asking forgiveness without even knowing what he’s asking it for. The intimacy of the songs is one reason Tom left them be, but he also simply moved on, stylistically and geographically. Relocating to New Zealand, he and Currie formed an electronic group called Babble, and Tom became a club DJ and producer, helming Boh Runga’s band *Stellar. He now resides in England, where he is ready for the next phase of his career.
