Possibly a candidate for the minor celebrity thread but fuck it, he deserves his spotlight for services to turn of the century pop.

The biggest RIP. Based on that instagram post, he should have had a knighthood for Deeper Shade of Blue ALONE. And that's before we even consider writing One For Sorrow and Say You'll Be Mine.

I hope some autistic pop fan (probs one of us one here <3) will spend the weekend creating a Topham Twigg wikipedia page, with a list of everything they gave us.

Outside his Steps classics, I also have a lot of time for these underrated Tina Cousins bangers.

OMG PRAY by LA CUZ

THE sound of PROVINCIAL GAY '99 (NON-STEPS)

Pray is, was and forever shall be life affirming (and also on death)

Pray they forgive us the stupid things we’ve done (done, done)

As someone whose first ever online screen name was TinaCousinsFan, this hits hard Tina to finally release Love Comes Back on streaming in tribute please

Awww very sad. Was thinking it was nice how they were still providing the odd song to the most recent Steps albums. Surprised they didn't get the chance to work with more acts after leaving PWL.

Another Topham & Twigg classic

I recall some PJ forum loons having an existential crisis over cancelling Steps after one of Topham & Twigg tweeted that S Club were probably working in Waitrose while "What the Future Holds Pt. 2" was enjoying success. To be fair, it was an accurate prediction.

ANYWAY:

That song really deserved better than Ellie Campbell.
