  • Chris Foreman (born Christopher John Foreman, 8 August 1956, London), nicknamed Chrissy Boy, is an English guitarist, best known as a member of a second wave ska band, Madness. Foreman started Madness with Mike Barson and Lee Thompson in 1976. Foreman was one of the group's main songwriters, mostly writing music with other members, usually Suggs or Lee Thompson, providing lyrics. After Madness disbanded in 1986 he formed a new band The Madness with Thompson, Suggs and Chas Smash but it was not successful and broke up after one album, also titled The Madness. Then he, alongside Thompson, created another group, The Nutty Boys with Thompson on vocals, who released an album called Crunch! The band are now known as Crunch!, and play in London every couple of years. Foreman reunited with all seven original Madness members in 1992, but in 2005 announced that he was leaving the band. However, on Thursday 30 November 2006 it was confirmed that Foreman was returning to play on Madness' forthcoming UK Christmas tour, and he has been recording some new songs with Madness. The same year he moved out of his Kentish Town home, and settled on the South Coast with his wife and three children. In late 2006, Foreman began using a mobile phone attached to his guitar to record short videos from his position on stage during live Madness performances to provide fans with a unique perspective from the "guitar's eye view". He coined the term "Axecam" to describe this filming technique. By December 2008, he had acquired a higher quality digital video camera which he attached to the shoulder strap of his guitar using an "Axecam holder", crafted by a member of the stage crew just before Madness went on stage at the O2 Arena on 19 December 2008. The new "Axecam" produced a far more stable picture and Foreman posted the first video from this performance ("It Must Be Love") to the MadnessStudio2008 Channel on YouTube on 20 December 2008.
