Hi to Andy, David from Toronto ✌️ I would absolutely love to talk to Andy one time and chat about the old days, alcohol and drug free coming up 5 years.

[@frantastic7273]

Definitely they deserve more than a little respect! One of the best band ever!

[@bakerteacher2905]

Mr. Bell...I just finished cleaning my house all the while blasting "Erasure" I'm 76..thats how long I've loved your music. You have all MY respect!

[@user-gn7ej6vt6b]

Andy Bell is just truly scrumptious- you just want to hug him ❤

We went to see Robby Williams in concert only because Erasure we were opening act. We weren’t bothered about seeing Robbie!

[@johannalberts8029]

Andy is a legend. Still listen to Erasure after so many years and it makes one miss the 80 so much. Thank you for this interview.

[@BlueSix100]

What a lovely man Andy Bell is! Erasure really were underrated and deserve so much more recognition and respect! Need to go back and listen to their classics now!

[@laraghcon]

Brilliant to see Andy looking so well.

Love Erasure, Andy is looking amazing, i have met him in person he is such a beautiful soul ❤️ ♥️ 💖 💗

[@alienzardsketter.9076]

I live in the back woods of the hills of Kentucky and the best concert I ever seen in all my life was on Here TV , By Erasure ,, Was The Tank The Swan and the Ballon,,, When I first heard Erasure ,, I fell in Love with there Music ,, one my favorite songs was Victim of Love ,, I ware out a cassette tape of Besst Of Erasure ,,back in the mid 90's Their was just so many parts to Erasure ,, well really Vince Clark and Andy Bell Its a modern day Cinderella story ,,, and with all the DJs and all the computer softwear made music ,, and Like Andy Bell said ,, People not singing ,, No bands on stage not stage show ,,and One singer surrounded by a Major business and a hundred sound engineers and Little helpers and fifty song writers ,,, Vince Clark and Andy Bell did the most real music for it to be synthesizers as any singer songwriter stage show productions they give you everything ,,In reality the touch of a key and the sound came their and then and the voice the sweat the glitter and the Just pure human Live real entertainment the talent ,,, to this day Erasure was the most influence I ever had that is why I do all my music I want to everything to be real and me as I grow ,I dont want to Live in a vanishing computer generationer I want to be as real as I can what I do in my music I want to be like Erasure as real as possible Vince Clark and Andy Bell and their back up singers and their dancers , and their stage shows ,, and the creative way they write and share their gifts with people no one is like Erasure ,, I Love all kinds of music but Erasure and 1980's music was and still is the most amazing time for music in hundreds of years ,,,I think Vince Clark is one the most creative persons on earth and he knew what he was doing when he choose Andy Bell ,, and they are so blessed and respect each other , as men and as artist ,,no duet on earth Like Vince Clark and Andy Bell until this day 2024 still ,,,I Love all kinds of music but Erasure they are the best .

Yep. That's the 80's music. It was so joyous and there was always a party vibe unlike today's music. I genuinely believe listening to 80's music even to this day has kept me young, happy and sane.

Great to see Andy on ‘Good Morning Britain’

[@ritasch1007]

YAHOO! from Germany.Always a pleasure to see Andy in such a great shape. Saw erasure for the first time back in 1985, in a small concert venue in Essen.Just knowing three songs :"Oh l'amour" , "Sometimes" and "March on down the line" !!! Was fantastic dance party from hell , as Andy Fletcher would say. Especially "Gimme , gimme , gimme" ! Their awesome ABBA-Cover. erasure rules ... Cheers from Duisburg.. Daddydarko 😀

[@user-yj8kl8jf4e]

Andy looking soo great!! What fantastic and nostalgic memories,his voice and charisma❤❤

[@ingvarjensen1088]

So great, really? To me he looks unhealthy swollen. Nevertheless I've been following Erasure and buying their stuff from the beginning, I'm thankful they're still around. But to say he's looking gorgeous is a bit exaggerating considering there are really gorgeous looking stars his age or even older like Phil Oakey of The Human League or Morten Harket of a-ha. I mean "gorgeous" has a meaning, right? If each and everyone looks "gorgeous" then nobody does 😉

[@user-yj8kl8jf4e]

@@ingvarjensen1088 Argument is valid, but you should see him few years ago, saw few interviews where he looked very bad so in comparisson wanted to say he looks very well today( though not super fit and healthy). Having his diagnosis cant expect look like fire,but he holds on very well!

[@ingvarjensen1088]

@@user-yj8kl8jf4e OK, I see your point. And thank you for being kind 🤗 I'm 59 and I've been HIV positive since 1998, so maybe I am lucky to not look "like that" (whatever that may mean). I just purchased Erasure's "The Neon Live" album and was stunned by Andy's live vocals. His voice seems a bit lower now, but what a performance!

[@emmaclark9294]

Love Andy and vince and erasure and would love him to do northern pride sometime xx

[@theEisbaer360]

Great...Unique 😊

[@catyork6070]

I've always loved Erasure's music and they were one of THE best bands to cone out of the 80s. Their music still sounds amazing and Andy's voice still amazes, so it's sad to hear about the recent 'hoo ha' of his performance at the Rewind Festival. I hope that's just a 'glitch' and that he's still up to putting on good performances, which fans expect because of Erasure's huge catalogue of great songs. I hope that Andy's well and that there's nothing wrong. He seems so down to earth, sweet and likeable and this interview on GMB was touching. He was so sweet and seemed nervous! Such a nice, talented guy.

Am 32 and my 6 year old hears and likes music from 50s to 80s and some modern not loads loads xx wished i was born when tops of the pops was on

[@Josuah-808]

Hi Mark, I just made a comment under another video of your platform when I found your channel. I have to repeat my post with a request: You're obviously a good friend of Andy & Vince. Could you pass this on to Andy in particular? I met the both many times as a friend of the German fan community called “Heavenly Action”. The first time at a concert was the day the wall came down in Germany, on November 9th, 1989. Another very special and great show was the party at the “Milton Keynes Bowl” on September 1st, 1990. I had the great pleasure of being there to celebrate my 20th birthday that day! And there were many nice happening like the “Meet and Greet” in Dublin and the day in Berlin where Andy recorded a birthday greeting for Steffen on a dictaphone after the show. Please send him warm greetings from Volker from Germany. Maybe I can say a few words directly to them this way: Andy, you have truly enriched my life. And to you both in memory of the Abbaesque period, which was also a special time for you, Andy, if I remember correctly: "Thank you for the music!"

[@MARobotham]

I'm just a huge fan like any other, best way to get a message to them is through the EIS contact page www.erasureinfo.com

[@thoughtfulprofessor4198]

Erasure are amazing. Had a huge number of hit singles and albums. Vince started my favourite band Depeche Mode and are one of the biggest bands on the planets.

[@Lester-hi4ez]

A fantastic duo from the 1980s

[@vadimislearningguitar4977]

that is very nice - and of course i listened to all of them and appreciated their music - a piece of our lives - thanks Mark - and a bigger piece of music - and the music that i make - lets say privately -

[@thelonglines]

Everybody including Erasure mimed on TOTP, unless you were of course New Order, which turned out wonderfully as we all know.

[@marcusyeo7630]

In essence, 80s pop groups & singers were way more creative & talented than any other decade

[@susanvaughan-schiele210]

Jimmy Summerville and Andy Bell ( plus a fair few others ) were openly gay popular singers in the 70s and it was a very different thing to be in those days. I can't imagine my life without the positive, high energy, joyful music of erasure. "Respect" got me through a difficult time during a bad illness. Big up Erasure. They should be given their full dues as immensely influential disco, soul and motivational/affirmation to the often disenfranchised gay sector. Forever fresh, Erasure never dates. ❤

[@Synthematix]

Lovely bloke that makes truly excellent music, ive got one of his albums with myself and the mrs's name in on the back cover

[@danielet612]

the most interesting point, when he talks about writing songs at home, only two of them, compared to today that many put their finger on it, in the studio and that the feeling is missing .... the journalist interrupted this topic. stupid!

I went to Erasure's live concert in 87 with a Pal I think it was 87🤔... They are very good live! Got many their albums, so great performance and stayed true to their albums! I was a bit shocked being about the only 2 hetro guys there! It was great and very warm from the fans - but I am sorry to say, to this day Men in G-strings still don't do it for me 🤣 Great Andy is keeping well and still got it ! All the best to Vince who was also great in Yazoo with Alison Moyet too ! 👍 Thanks for your amazing music guys!

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

Andy is as gorgeous and handsome looking as ever, with a gorgeous-sounding English accent - I’m a 53 years old Irish gay man now, but I was a young Irish gay teen back in the 80’s in Rural Ireland, now living 22 years in the U.K. and I used to endlessly listen to his music all the time, that really did speak to my own experiences growing up - I’d happily date this hot handsome hunk in a heartbeat ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bobavader1862]

80s was epic

[@tigercub483]

I was discussing with my 11 year old recently just how brave it was to be openly gay at that time. George Michael was the example I used to illustrate how scary it must have been, as he was unable to be open even after he'd made more than enough money to cushion a decline in popularity.

[@Wanderersea]

That is Wild! that Andy lives so close to George Michael, and they are both musicians from the 80s, and yet their only encounters were from a brief fleeting moment on the street through eye contact. The way Andy describes it implies that George knew who Andy was. This herkens back to Vince, who repeatedly states that everyone assumes musicians all know each other on some personal level.

[@user-wn8rm6rb2i]
