Cicero has released his latest single Weekender.
The electro pop stomper from the Pet Shop Boys’ protégé follows his previous tracks Hold On To The Memories and When Love Fades Away, and is out now across digital platforms.
The singer-songwriter, who released his debut album ‘Future Boy’ in 1992, returned to music last year with his long-awaited follow-up ‘Today’.
Speaking in the April 2022 edition of RETROPOP, Cicero revealed how his debut ‘Top of the Pops’ appearance was axed at the last minute to make way for Michael Jackson’s latest music video.
“I was meant to be on ‘Top of the Pops’ but Michael Jackson had his song Black or White out,” explained the singer.
“It had a 10-minute video and I was meant to be on ‘Top of the Pops’ but they said, ‘Sorry, we can’t have Cicero on this week because we’re going to show the 10-minute video from Michael Jackson’.”
He admitted: “I was raging, because I was one of the highest climbers that week. I got to No. 19 and they showed about a two-second clip of Love is Everywhere and then they said, ‘Now we’re going to show you the video from Michael Jackson’.”
