A concert with Smanatha Fox currently features her with her band in the folowing lineup:
Samantha Fox 2 Female keyboard players 1 Dancer/backing vocalist Guitar Bass/Vocals
― famantha sox, Saturday, 21 May 2005 14:55 (twenty years ago)
Sam’s first stage appearance was when she was three years old. By the age of five she was already attending the Anna Scher Theatre School. She made her first television appearance when she was ten in a BBC play called No Way Out and at eleven she was accepted by the Judy Dench Mountainview Theatre School. However, music was Sam’s first love and at 14 she formed her first band. When she was 15 she got her first record deal with Lamborghini Records but when she was whisked into the glamorous modelling world her music career was put on hold.During the four year tenure of her extremely lucrative modelling contract, Samantha Fox literally became a household name in the UK and the nation’s darling. Nonetheless, as soon as her contractual obligations expired, Sam immediately wanted to focus all her attention on her music again. At the age of twenty Sam released her first single Touch Me. Sam made her debut live appearance as a singer at Peter Stringfellow’s prestigious Hippodrome in front of an audience composed entirely of DJs from all over Europe.Touch Me went on to amass a formidable array of Platinum, Gold and Silver awards. Overall, twenty four discs honour these sales. The Touch Me album and three others found Number One national chart positions in no less than 15 countries and Top Fives in numerous others including the USA.During this time Sam toured the world, barely stopping for breath. Indeed, Samantha Fox made a terrific impact with her live act, selling out halls of up to 30,000 capacity across Canada and America and touring Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore and Korea. In Montreal she broke the box office record. In South America she had huge record sales and a sell out tour sponsored by Pepsi - 20,000 seat minimum. There were 50,000 people at the airport on her arrival in Colombia. Sam was invited by the Minister of Tourism in Brazil to the Rio Carnival. In Ecuador she took part in a celebrity tennis match to raise funds for hospitals. In one year alone Sam played to over a million fans. Another year was spent in New York, V’Jaying for MTV (presenting pop promo video programmes on Music Television), acting in a sitcom and recording with top US producers.As someone with humanitarian interests she chose to also visit and perform in unusual countries including Bosnia, Russia, the Ukraine and Siberia. In India Sam performed to 70,000 people three nights in a row, breaking the record previously held by Bruce Springsteen.· ‘I have fans in some remote countries in the world and there are not many artists who will visit these places. Sometimes the hotels have no running water and the transport is scary but the graciousness and appreciation of the fans is so overwhelming you have to take it in your stride.’Perhaps it is this global approach that accounts for the international composition of Sam’s fan base. With the advent of the internet, the development of her own official site and links with the many other Sam sites run by long term loyal fans, the world has become her ‘Cyber Oyster’.Sam has entered an era where her intuitive sense of adventure and curiosity has always belonged from the start. Her early desire to travel all around the world and her fascination with far away places and different cultures was almost ahead of the times when she began. Now in the year 2004 the world has opened up to her way of thinking and through the internet, global consciousness is being raised as people come together.

The comeback would be good if she completely rewrote everything to reflect her lesbianism.

Thanks Joseph for disturbing the frail, tranquil, innocence of my mind which had conveniently forgotten that song. :)
Stewart was OTM here, did we ever want her in the first place?
