Untouchable ft Glenn Gregory

Untouchable is a poignant ballad of loss and epic heartbreak, combined with a celebration of life and love. The lyrics were written and performed by Glenn Gregory of the pioneering 80’s synth pop band Heaven 17 as a tribute to the late Billy MacKenzie.

Billy Mackenzie of The Associates, singer on the eponymous hit single Party Fears Two, a great friend of the band and an exceptionally talented singer, lost to a premature and untimely death. This stunning single is the first release from the forthcoming album International Blue created by Stephen, joined by a collective of artists.
