Mick Hucknall

Mick Hucknall

He of the ginger hair, who is Simply Red. Mick and his band recorded one of the best-selling albums of the nineties, Stars; and his ballad-driven bluesy, soulful soft rock has proved a perennial favourite with the public for the last decade. A mad keen Manchester United fan, Mick is as well-known for his celebrity lifestyle as his music though, with a string of high profile conquests to his name. Though some of the stories are surely just the stuff of legend, it seems the ladies just can't resist that ruby tooth and flaming mane.
