Nik Kershaw exploded onto the UK pop scene in 1984 as a solo artist. A string of global hit singles – including ‘Wouldn’t it Be Good,’ ‘The Riddle’ and his biggest hit, ‘I Won’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me’ – helped to propel him to 62 weeks on the UK Singles Chart through 1984 and 1985.

Nik appeared at the Live Aid show in 1985 and has also penned hits for other artists, including a UK No. 1 single in 1991 for Chesney Hawkes, ‘The One and Only’.
