UB40 Has A New Front Man
Maxi Priest is the new lead singer of British reggae band, UB40.
He has replaced Ali Campbell as the new front man of the band which has decided to carry on despite an acrimonious split with Campbell after a festering row with management.
The collaboration with Priest has already yielded a recording of Bob Marley's I Shot The Sheriff and is expected to form half of a double A-side single soon.
Priest joined UB40 on tour last year, culminating in sellout shows at the NEC in December. He had top ten hits with Wild World in 1988 and Close To You in 1990.
He has worked with Sly and Robbie, Roberta Flack, Shaggy, Shabba Ranks, Joe and Dennis Brown.
