Interview: Andy Bell of the iconic pop duo Erasure

Author: Randy Slovacek October 23, 2024 Duration: 14:09
Today I’m chatting Andy Bell, frontman for the legendary electropop duo Erasure, whose hits include “A Little Respect,” “Chains of Love,” “Ship of Fools,” and so many more. In the 2000s, he released his acclaimed solo albums 'Electric Blue' and 'Non-Stop.' He is currently working on new solo material with Grammy Award winner Dave Audé, and will be reuniting with Vince Clarke to start work on a new Erasure album in 2025. Throughout his music career, Andy has become an icon within the LGBTQ community having been out and proud since he hit it big at the age of 21. Known for his honesty and compassion, he’s given back to the community with a long list of support for various LGBTQ causes including serving as an ambassador for New York’s Hetrick-Martin Institute, donating the proceeds for his latest single “Pride (In The Name Of Love)” to GLAAD, and much more. Andy will make his one-night-only debut performance in Las Vegas at The Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas on Saturday, October 26, where he promises a full band set of Erasure favorites, solo selections and more.
