Biography Edit

Johnson was born on 9 February 1960 in Liverpool, England, to Eric and Pat (née McGlouchlin) Johnson. His paternal grandfather Patrick was Irish and his maternal grandfather Patrick McGlouchlin was of 3/4 Indian descent.[3] Johnson was the third of four children and was nicknamed Billy as a child. He started his education in Liverpool at St Mary`s Church of England primary school and at age eleven went to the Liverpool Collegiate School in Everton. At fourteen, Johnson took on the name Holly, inspired by actress Holly Woodlawn, a friend of Andy Warhol.[4][5]

During his second year at the Liverpool Collegiate, Johnson and his friend were teased and nicknamed `Jolly Johnson` and `Honey Heath`. The two shared an interest in Marc Bolan and David Bowie. While he attended Liverpool Collegiate, Johnson was actively involved in that city`s punk rock/new wave scene of the late 1970s. Johnson played bass with the local band Big in Japan[6] and also released two solo singles on the Eric`s label. Both `Yankee Rose` and `Hobo Joe` failed to chart, however. Johnson met his partner, Wolfgang Kuhle, in the early 1980s.

Kuhle, Johnson`s personal manager, became a successful art dealer and collected paintings by Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell. In 1982, Johnson joined Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and he later found fame as the lead singer and lyricist of the band. In 1987, tension grew between Johnson and the rest of his group. He also had an argument with his record company and won a case in court against them on restraint of trade. He left Frankie Goes to Hollywood and the other members of the band were eventually let go by the label after the court case ZTT and Perfect Songs v Holly Johnson.[7]

In 1991, Johnson was diagnosed with HIV[8][9] and wrote an autobiography, A Bone In My Flute; he did not expect to live much longer.[9] Johnson remained creative working as a painter and printmaker and writing songs until 1994 when he returned to performing music occasionally.[10] One of Johnson`s paintings appears as the cover to the Kirsty MacColl single `Angel`.
