Throughout their incredible career, Martin Fry has fronted ABC. They were one of the defining pop acts of the ‘80s, with The Lexicon of Love debuting at #1 on the UK Albums Chart upon its release. Produced by Trevor Horn, the album features well-known singles such as Poison Arrow, The Look of Love, and All of My Heart.
ABC have also long enjoyed success in Australia, The Lexicon of Love reaching #9 on the Albums Chart, Poison Love becoming a top five hit single, and The Look of Love charting at #7.
In 2016, Fry unveiled The Lexicon of Love II, a sequel to the band’s beloved debut. He co-wrote the record with Academy Award-winning composer Anne Dudley. The original album celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2022, with ABC bringing successful tours in the UK, the US, and now Australia.
