Who performed at Greatest Hits Radio Live last year?
We saw incredible performances at the show from OMD, who raised the roof with plenty of hits including 'Enola Gay' and 'Sailing On The Seven Seas', plus fan favourite Paul Carrack who performed chart-topping tracks 'How Long' and 'Over My Shoulder'.
West End star Ian McIntosh - who previously performed in We Will Rock You as Galileo - also paid tribute to the music of Queen with a haunting rendition of 'The Show Must Go On', and we also saw The Greatest Hits Radio Band with special guest vocalists Ashton Jones and Sharlene Hector take to the stage, as well as Jersey Boys star Luke Suri performing as Frankie Valli.
Last year, the world of music lost one of its all-time greats, and it felt right to recognise Tina Turner and her astounding career. In a showstopping moment, Elesha Paul Moses from Tina: The Tina Turner Musical celebrated her life with a spine-tingling performance of '(Simply) The Best'.
