About the Artist It all began in 1987 with the release of Shattered Dreams , the single which became a Top5 hit in the UK, throughout mainland Europe and Asia, and reached No2 in Japan. It was followed by four other worldwide hits, including the anti-war anthem I Don't Want To Be A Hero , Turn Back The Clock (featuring Kim Wilde on backing vocals) and Heart Of Gold . In 1988, Shattered Dreams reached No2 on the US Billboard chart, No1 on the US Adult Contemporary chart, and climbed to No4 in Canada. That same year, their album, Turn Back The Clock , entered the UK charts at No1, boasting double-platinum status and selling an incredible 4 million copies in the process. It is arguably one of the definitive and most memorable albums of the 1980's, and is one of only two debut albums released by Virgin Records that immediately went to the top of the charts upon its release the other being Never Mind The Bollocks by The Sex Pistols.
