Question of the day

[StuartW]

Staying with the music theme, James Brown's sax player Maceo Parker played in the backing band for which performer's record breaking 21 night sold out shows at the O2?

Prince......

He was flipping awesome!

 

[Andyk]

You were there then MrCoop ?

Just tuned in to this
How come I am missing all the music Q's?

Yes mate, I was lucky enough to get a couple of tickets.

Luke Goss went from being a 'popstar' to being an 'actor'...can you name the band AND the film, which was a reasonably successful sequel?

Well I know the 'band' but going to have to google for a film

And having just googled, I fear your expected answer is technically incorrect.....

Didn't he do a film about the krays?

 

[Contigo]

Bros for sure and if memory serve me correctly was it Blade 2?

 

[MrCoop]

Spot on Phil, you're correct on both. Your go...

 

[CatmanV2]

Point of order: Luke Goss's *first* movie was a TV one, his *second* proper film was 'Two Days, Nine Lives'

Blade II was his third, or fourth, depending if you count the TV one or not.

At least that's what it says here:

We saw Maceo Parker at a Jazz festival in Madeira of all places stunning. Lead me to finding my way through a lot of his old back catalogue some great stuff in there.

An old tin can with a stone in it is more musical than Bros

Quite possibly. However, I do recall Matt Goss being in a rather success West End stage show, and also a show in Vegas.
So perhaps his musical talents weren't as bad as first made out to be in Bros!

Good job he didnt sell it to Craig from Bros. The next words would have been "I owe you nothing, Nothing at all"

Luke Goss was in a film over the weekend playing an arms trader with Samuel L Jackson called "The Man".
