They were all shite,so thankfully long since disbanded. :D
I know that Brian Connolly (lead singer from Sweet) died several years ago. Iirc he became a hopeless alcoholic and his heart gave out in the end.

Not sure about that.  :-\
Sh1te Factor just encourages the 'I want fame & I want it now' hopefuls, at least the likes of Slade wrote their own stuff. I wouldn't mind Noddy's royalties for Merry Xmas Everybody ..... it's only nearly 40 years old now! There won't be anyone from Sh1te Factor still performing or even known in 40yrs time.  :y :y

A few more to add to your list:

Gary Kiddy Fiddler Glitter
Duran Duran
Adam Ant
Dollar

But there was also Blondy, Suzi Quattro and Pans People  :y :y :y which I'm sure a certain DD might also remember.

Personally, I always like Slade and their music has stood the test of time.

only good thing I can say about Slade is that they were better than all the other shite from the glitter era,but still shite. But if we all liked the same things.... ;)

Just been haveing a nosey round the net

Dire Straights

In 1995 Mark Knopfler wound the group down and started out on a solo career. The original gang have reformed only one since, for bass guitarist John Illsley's wedding. Knopfler has continually stressed he is not interested in a reunion although he does work regularly with the other members of the band on his solo music.
