Pop acts from the 1980s and 1990s including Right Said Fred, Paul Young and Toyah, whose income from live performances has slumped during the coronavirus pandemic, are recording their hits for a new pay-per-view series being streamed online.

Chesney Hawkes, Kim Wilde and Steve Harley are also among those performing in five planned shows in the “That Was Then ... This is Now!” series hosted by streaming service TicketCo TV.

Hawkes, whose 1991 hit “The One and Only” was number 1 for five week in the UK charts, added: “Most of us that are doing this show, 90 percent of our earnings would be live so it’s really difficult to try and make that up somehow.” “These guys have been itinerant musicians all of their lives. And then suddenly they’ve been told no more gigs, nothing,” Stock told Reuters.
