New Zealanders had it bad for British pop star Nik Kershaw in the 80's. His singles, like Wouldn't it be Good, soared in the charts, his 1985 tour here sold out. But for Kershaw, the sudden rise to pop star status, touring with Elton John, playing Live Aid with an audience of millions; it was a bit challenging. He stepped away from the stage for years, wrote hit songs for other people and then again for his own albums. The 80's, for the most part, stayed in the 80's. He's back. Nik Kershaw returns to New Zealand next year for the Sounds Series Festival that includes The Human League and The Mockers.
