what
happened next
After John Foxx left to pursue a solo career
(Underpass, No One Driving etc), and Robin Simon had also gone, the
remaining core three employed a Scotsman called James 'Midge' Ure. His
pedigree had been The Rich Kids and...er...Slik. They went on to be huge
and in an apparent last throw of the dice, they put out Vienna as a single and the
rest is history. Ultravox ended in acrimony though. Ure is still a
successful solo artiste. Billy Currie is a solo artiste and also toured as
U-Vox. Chris (Cross) St John is now a psychotherapist. Cann is living back
in the US
The Ure/Cross/Currie/Cann line up reunited
for the first time in 25 years in 2009 for a UK tour
and continued into 2010 and a new album and tour in 2012.
Heartbeat
eventually came to an end. Pete Trewavas joined Marillion and became huge.
Robin is a respected session musician. Graham Hocking and Simon Cheetham
went on to form The Disco Students.
Doll by Doll
had fallen apart by 1983. Jackie Leven released a huge body of solo
albums and died in 2011
odds and trivia
Ultravox were such an influence on the young
Gary Numan that when he toured The Pleasure Principle in 1979 (including
Friars), he borrowed Billy Currie for his band.
