Peter Cox is one of the most recognisable voices of the 1980s, and ahead of GO WEST’s Australian tour with Debbie Gibson this August, we sat down with the legendary frontman to look back on the band’s incredible career and enduring popularity.
In this interview, Peter discusses why GO WEST’s music continues to resonate with audiences around the world, the stories behind some of their biggest hits, and how the band found global success beyond the charts with iconic songs featured in Rocky IV and Pretty Woman.
We also chat about his respect and admiration for legendary singer Paul Rodgers, the influence Rodgers has had on him as a vocalist, and what fans can expect from GO WEST’s upcoming Australian tour. From “We Close Our Eyes”, “The King of Wishful Thinking”, and “Call Me” to the unforgettable movie moments that introduced their music to millions, GO WEST remain one of the defining pop acts of the decade.
