Freud, who was 51, took his own life following a long struggle with drug and alochol addiction. It’s ironic that only one week ago the Melbourne born band was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame – Freud did not attend however.

The Models hits included the 1985 No. 1 Out of Mind, Out of Sight with Freud on lead vocals, as well as I Hear Motion, Big on Love and Evolution.

1985 also saw the release of Barbados (my favourite) which topped number 2. It was this song that gave Freud the title of his book I Am the Voice Left From Drinking.

RIP

For a reminder of the catchy tune, and the girls, check out this youtube video:

Want some trivia? Read on ….

From what I have read on the net (and it IS difficult to verify), the girls were NOT Robert Palmer’s idea.

So who were the models? The model on the keyboard was Susie Verrico. She was in the reality TV show Big Brother UK in the UK in 2006. The models in the video are (from left to right) Patty Kelly, Julie Pankhurst, Mak Gilchrist and Julia Bolino with Kathy Davies at the back on drums.

Oh, and to finish off, they did not know how to play the instruments which was no great secret but their simple presence worked.
