Right Said Fred

In 1991, brothers Fred and Richard Fairbass sent their song to every music producer in town to universal disdain. Frustrated, they charmed a small radio station to play it once. ‘I’m Too Sexy’ spent three months in the top ten and earned the band their first Ivor Novello award, quickly followed by a second for ‘Deeply Dippy’. With multi-platinum status and 20 million CDs sold worldwide, Right Said Fred are one of Britain’s biggest exports, yet they’ve never sat comfortably in the industry they proved wrong. In this memoir they tell us what it’s really like to have overnight success, and how to keep it.
