When:

Short story:

Mike Nolan of Buck's Fizz is seriously injured when the band's tour bus collides with a lorry on the Great North Road near Newcastle, England, UK, Europe, shortly after the band plays a gig in The City Hall. All four members are injured, but Nolan falls into a coma, seeming so close to death that at one point he is given the last rites.

Mike Nolan : I often get asked about the coach crash that nearly killed me and the thing is I can’t remember it at all. My memory has totally wiped it out.

Over the years I’ve really tried hard to remember but nothing comes to me.

My fellow bandmates Cheryl Baker, Bobby G and Jay Aston tell me how lucky I am because it was so horrific and they wish they could forget it.
