Bananarama: Where are they now?
<p>Bananarama were one of the most popular trios around in the ‘80s. It’s been 31 years since they released their <em>Greatest Hits Collection</em>, but they are back on tour around Australia.</p>
<p>With hits like <em>Venus, Love In The First Degree </em>and <em>I Heard A Rumour</em>, it’s hard not to see why fans are excited that they’re touring again.</p>
<p>The trio has turned into a duo and have a much more modern look. Remaining members Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward spoke to <em>Sunrise</em> about their success in 2019 and how the ‘80s continues to live on.</p>
<p>Siobhan Fahey, one of the original Bananarama members, left the group in 1998 to form her own group Shakespears Sister. Her replacement Jacquie O'Sullivan also left the group in 1991.</p>

<p>“The '80s were such a popular period. I mean, they still do massive tours of ‘80s artists,” Sara explained.</p>
<p>However, they wouldn’t be where they are without their loyal fans.</p>
<p>“I am just amazed at how far people will travel to see you. The ones I see in the audience here [in Australia] have been to the UK when we toured, they came to America, and I just think it’s just amazing how loyal they are.”</p>
<p>Their audience has continued to expand, with younger fans being in the audience as well.</p>
<p>“There are much younger people who know all the words, and that’s always really surprising.”</p>
<p>With a new album on the way, <em>In Stereo,</em> which will be launched April 9, the group are enjoying being on tour for now.</p>
