Limahl

Limahl (born Christopher Hamill, 19 December 1958) is an English pop singer. He rose to fame as the lead singer of the 1980s pop group Kajagoogoo, before embarking on a briefly successful solo career, which reached its peak with the 1984 hit "NeverEnding Story", taken from the film of the same name. Hamill was born in Pemberton, near Wigan, Lancashire, United Kingdom. He attended Mesnes High School, in Wigan, before eventually enrolling at the Westcliff-on-Sea Palace Theatre Repertory Company. With aspirations to be an actor, Hamill toured with the company in a production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. In 1980, he also had a small role in an episode of the ITV police series The Gentle Touch playing a schoolboy. Though his acting career never took off, Hamill also had an interest in music and he formed a short-lived punk band called Vox Deus. Next he joined Crossword, but left to form Brooks, with Mike Nolan. He adopted his stage name (an anagram of his surname) at the time he was recruited by the existing members of Kajagoogoo, who were then an instrumental quartet called Art Nouveau.
