“Bad Boys Blue” are a German pop group that formed in Cologne in 1984. In the summer of 1984, Tony Hendrik and his wife Karin van Haaren started looking for new musicians to create a project based on their musical ideas to be able to publish under their record label "Coconut Records". Thus was born the band "Bad Boys Blue", formed by the American Andrew Freddie Thomas, the Englishman John Edward McInerney and the Jamaican Trevor Oliver Taylor. Their debut single, "Love In My Car", was a failure but the second single was already the turning point. "You're a Woman" reached number eight in Germany in the summer of 1985 and number one in Austria. More hits followed in the following years, such as "I Wanna Hear Your Heartbeat (Sunday Girl)", "Come Back and Stay", "A World Without You (Michelle)" and "Lady in Black". Trevor Taylor left in 1988 having been replaced as lead singer by John McInerney. He briefly returned to the group the following year for the single "Hungry for Love", before leaving for good. Trevor Bannister was hired as the new third member of the band. In the early 1990s, the group continued to be successful, but after 1991 the commercial success in German-speaking countries declined. The band planned several tours in Russia, Ukraine and the Baltic states and gained much popularity and appreciation in Eastern Europe. Trevor Taylor died of a heart attack on January 19, 2008. Andrew Thomas died of cancer on July 21, 2009. In April 2017, John McInerney was involved in a serious car accident in Russia. The singer broke a rib and suffered several internal injuries.
