Mel Gaynor (ex Simple Minds) Announces Debut Solo Album
Exactly 45-years since Simple Minds stormed into the UK Top 30 album charts with their debut album, their longest standing drummer, Mel Gaynor, announces the release of his debut solo album, ‘Come With Me’, out 3 May. One of the World’s most renowned drummers, Gaynor has sold over 60 Million records during his 35 year career, and now under his newly signed label deal with Marquee Records, he unleashes his debut solo single ‘Run’ 1 March, as the first track off his highly anticipated new solo studio album. Proving that the back-man drummer has front-man charisma, Gaynor steps up to stun audiences with his unique gritty vocal quality, lyrical genius and a rare ability to re-imagine old rock favourites, in a style we never thought possible. Oh, and popping the rock-cherry onto this music cake, Gaynor pulls icon, Robert Palmer in to feature on a 2024 re-working of ‘Addicted To Love’ – sheer genius!
