  • Max Bacon is the former lead singer for 1980s arena rock supergroup GTR as well as the frontman for lesser known bands like Moby Dick, Nightwing, Phenomena, and Bronz. Bacon's one claim to fame in his own right is as the vocalist on the top 40 GTR single, "When the Heart Rules the Mind". GTR's self-titled debut went gold. Bacon's 1996 solo album The Higher You Climb included GTR material, and Bacon later sang lead on "Going, Going, Gone" on Steve Howe's 1999 release, Portraits of Bob Dylan. There is also a CD of a Los Angeles GTR performance on King Biscuit Flower Hour, and even a bootleg floating around. Bacon has also sung lead on Mike Oldfield's 1987 album Islands which, in the U.S. version, featured the minor hit "Magic Touch", and was co-produced by GTR-producer Geoff Downes. In 2002 another solo album, From The Banks Of The River Irwell, was released, featuring some material composed by Downes previously performed by Asia during John Payne's tenure. An interesting piece of GTR trivia concerns vocalist Max Bacon's almost surreal attempt to relaunch his career following the breakup with an appearance as a contestant on ITV's vintage talent show New Faces. Relaunched in the late 1980s, the revamped New Faces was hosted by Marti Caine and featured judges such as Chris Tarrant (the nice one) and Nina Myskow (the nasty one). Max eventually reached the 1988 final and performed a version of "The Hunter", but he ultimately lost the competition. Interestingly, however, no mention was made on the show of his previous GTR success. Max also performed a number he had previously recorded with Mike Oldfield, again without the show mentioning his earlier career. Bacon has since left the business and now owns a pub called The Crown in Knaresborough(jh) North Yorkshire, England.
