The album release followed the group\u2019s controversial debut single \u2018Relax\u2019, and follow-up \u2018Two Tribes\u2019, both of which hit the number 1 spot in the UK single charts in the same year.<\/p>\n After leaving Frankie Goes To Hollywood in 1987, Holly went on to release three solo albums, including his platinum selling number 1 debut solo album \u2018Blast\u2019 in 1989, \u2018Dreams That Money Can\u2019t Buy\u2019 in 1991 and \u2018Soulstream\u2019 in 1999. His new solo album will be released on 15th September this year.<\/p>\n Whilst he has been performing at UK festivals in recent years, the newly announced dates will be his first full solo tour, speaking about the tour Holly says:<\/p>\n \u201cSince 2011 I have been performing at one or two festivals each Summer here in the UK, I realised how enjoyable it is to sing the songs that I have written, and look forward to performing material from my new album. <\/p>\n This will be my first solo tour since the final Frankie Goes To Hollywood shows in 1987. I\u2019m looking forward to singing some of those songs again, as well as songs from my solo albums \u2018Blast\u2019, \u2018Dreams That Money Can\u2019t Buy\u2019 and \u2018Soulstream\u2019<\/p>\n I\u2019m really excited to be able to play songs that written throughout my career which spans more years than I care to mention. Being able to tour as a solo artist in the 21st Century with a back catalogue and new material is a very privileged position to be in.\u201d<\/p>\n www.hollyjohnson.com<\/a> \/ www.facebook.com\/MrHollyJohnson<\/a> \/ www.twitter.com\/TheHollyJohnson<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tuesday 27th May 2014 \u2013 HOLLY JOHNSON, former Frankie Goes To Hollywood frontman and songwriter, today announces his Dancing With…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35665,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[6],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hollyjohnson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35672"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hollyjohnson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hollyjohnson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hollyjohnson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hollyjohnson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35672"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hollyjohnson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35672\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hollyjohnson.com\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hollyjohnson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35672"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hollyjohnson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35672"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hollyjohnson.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35672"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
