The track featured an appearance from future Thunder bass player Mark 'Snake' Luckhurst.After releasing a couple of singles and the album As It Is, he had a falling out with his record label, resulting in him leaving the music industry for 15 years. As a youngster, Paul was taken on as an apprentice with the football club Celtic, but after hearing the Sex Pistols he decided to pursue a career in music. In the early 80s he played and sang with Glasgow band Venigmas, which released the single "Strangelove". In 1989, he produced Japanese rock band Buck-Tick's album Taboo. Owen Paul has made two memorable television appearances. The first was on the BBC live programme Pebble Mill, when he was meant to mime to "My Favourite Waste of Time" but missed his cue due to a technician's mistake. The second came much later, as the unfortunate guest of a neighbour of the Osbournes, when, by playing music in that neighbour's garden, he provoked Ozzy and the rest of his dysfunctional family into throwing food. For over ten years he ran a West End theatre in London's Leicester Square (home of the Boy George musical Taboo) as well as a successful ballroom and Latin dancing club, returning to the music scene in 2002 with the album About Time. After touring and recording with Mike + The Mechanics, and a spell with Scottish supergroup Four Good Men, Owen Paul became the lead vocalist for Ex-Simple Minds, with his brother, former Simple Minds drummer Brian McGee. Owen has three children: Joshua, Olivia and Hannah. In late 2012, Owen appeared on BBC1’s Watchdog as part of their ‘Rogue Traders’ team. In January 2014, Owen released "The One", his first official single in the UK since 1987 and available through iTunes, Amazon and Spotify, following this with the release of the album About Time II in the autumn of the same year. To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of his 1986 hit he released two new versions, My Favourite Waste of Time Part One and My Favourite Waste Of Time Part Two, along with various dance remixes. The Acoustic 80s EP was released in 2017. The dance version of "Amazing" was remixed by Stonebridge and spent 3 weeks in the Music Week Club Charts in 2018. He tours as a solo artist and with his 80s Show, and played all the Let's Rock 80's festivals in 2019. "Sleeping on the Same Pillow" (featuring Lynne Johnstone) - released in January 2020 - was the first release from his forthcoming Americana/country album Overblown Superstar which is due for release in the autumn. His new track "Beauty of the Sun" was recorded entirely in lockdown and is available now.
