@GaryClarkMusic Brillant review G..! Congrats x

@Graceprgirl This is tragic news. She championed Danny Wilson in the 80’s and many other Scottish bands. We spent some time together at our SM shows in US last year and she was in great form ..RIP Lesley

I am very sad to share my dear friend of 40 years Lesley O Toole has died. I know many of you here knew her, she was like a sister to me, the kindest most supportive friend. She loved her life in LA with lovely husband and son and many friends, I have a big hole in my heart

We’ve loved reading your favourite memories from the 2024/25 Simple Minds tours. Here are a few you’ve shared: Photo by @ToddeVision

‘Magic’ was released as the lead single from Walk Between Worlds, which came out this month in 2018. The album marked Simple Minds' seventeenth studio release and reached No. 4 on the UK Albums Chart, their highest position in the UK since 1995's Good News from the Next World.

On this day in 1985, Simple Minds released ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me)’ as a single in the US. The song went on to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band’s biggest international hit and defining a generation through its association with The Breakfast Club.
