Iconic 80s band set 'to reunite after 20 years' for Eurovision Song Contest
Popular 80s band Frankie Goes To Hollywood could possibly reunite for this year's Eurovision Song Contest.
The group, which consists of Holly Johnson, Paul Rutherford, Mark O'Toole, Brian Nash and Peter Gill, were reportedly asked to perform at the competition in their home town of Liverpool.
All five of the band members haven't performed together in two decades. In 2004 and 2005, the group reunited without Holly and Brian for a few concerts.
And now, FGTH could be dusting off their old microphones to perform their hit songs Relax and Two Tribes.
A music insider claimed: "Eurovision organisers have put them at the top of their wish list and have asked them if they would consider performing.

Frankie Goes To Hollywood was formed in Liverpool in 1980.

The latest performer to represent the UK will be singer Mae Muller, 25.
