Mike Score
Mike Score (born Michael Score on November 5 1957 in Beverley, East Yorkshire, England) is a keyboardist and lead singer for the 1980s New Wave band, A Flock of Seagulls. He was best known for his odd hairstyle. Sometimes it was combed over his head and sometimes in a cat-like appearance by bringing the sides up. But his common one was the comb over his forehead. He was able to achieve this as he was a hairdresser before he joined A Flock of Seagulls. However, by 1984, his well-known hairstyle was gone and he grew out his hair making it longer in the back and combed it to the side.
He was in the band A Flock of Seagulls until 1986, but when he decided to reform the band again in 1989, the other members decided not to join. He is still currently performing and touring as A Flock of Seagulls but with different members.
In 2004, the original members of "AFOS" were reunited by VH1's Bands Reunited, including Score himself. They played their hit 'I Ran' at a special one-off performance in London, which sold out. In an interview before the performance, it was revealed that his infamous "seagul" hairstyle was created when Score was trying to style his hair like that of David Bowie's character, Ziggy Stardust, AFOS bassist, Frank Maudsley was trying to use the mirror at the same time, and placed his hand on Score's head, leaving only the hair on the sides of his head sticking up. The reunion of the band apparently resolved tension between himself and his brother, Ali Score, the band's ex-drummer, which had been present since the band's break-up.
Score currently lives in Florida on the Indian River.
