Page "Thompson Twins" Paragraph 13

A new single, " Lay Your Hands On Me ", was released in the UK in late 1984 and reached No. 13 in the UK charts.

However, while working on the follow-up album to Into The Gap, Bailey suffered a nervous breakdown.

The band's planned next single, " Roll Over ", was then cancelled at the last minute.

The band had already parted company with their producer Alex Sadkin, and Nile Rodgers was subsequently called in to help finish the album.

Released in September 1985, Here's To Future Days reached the Top 5 in the UK and the Top 20 in the US, though failed to come close to the success of Into The Gap.

It spawned the single " King For A Day ", which peaked at No. 22 in the UK, but reached No. 8 on the US chart Other singles included a new US version of " Lay Your Hands On Me " ( US No. 6 ), the anti-drug song " Don't Mess With Doctor Dream " ( UK No. 15 ) and an unsuccessful cover of The Beatles ' 1968 hit " Revolution " which became the band's first single to fail to make the UK Top 40 in three years.
