 | | Soft Cell had to postpone their U.K. and European dates, which were due to precede the U.S. shows, when singer Marc Almond took ill during the first week of October. |
 | | Formed in the early ‘80s by British art students - singer Almond and synth player David Ball - Soft Cell broke big with their rendition of "Tainted Love." Subsequently, the group's next LP, Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret, and remix collection, Non-Stop Ecstatic Dancing, were hits as well. |
