Christopher Hamill, 19 December 1958, Wigan, Lancashire, England Limahl (an anagram of his surname) came to prominence as lead vocalist with Kajagoogoo. His rancorous exit from the group in 1983 was caused partly by guitarist Nick Beggs' increasing control over the outfit's destiny. However, a flamboyant performer and a friend of BBC pop presenter Paul Gambaccini, Limahl was well placed for solo success that began with "Only For Love' in the UK Top 20. After a relative flop with 1984"s "Too Much Trouble", he touched number 4 with the movie title theme, "Never Ending Story". This Giorgio Moroder opus was also Limahl's only US chart entry. Apart from Don't Suppose flitting briefly into the UK charts, he has since been absent from the commercial scene in nearly all territories. He continues to perform live and appear in musical theatre.
