The Thompson Twins were a British pop group that were formed in April 1977 and disbanded in May 1993.
They achieved considerable popularity in the mid 1980s, scoring a string of hits in the UK, the US and around the globe.
The band was named after the two bumbling detectives Thomson and Thompson in Hergé's comic strip, The Adventures of Tintin.
A predominately synthpop trio, they were joined on stage at Live Aid by Madonna and were at the forefront of the second, so-called, British Invasion.
