New Wave Icon 'Looks Great' As He Transports Fans Back To High School With '80s Anthem
Robbie Grey of the '80s new wave band Modern English looks and sounds like no time has passed since the band struck gold with its 1982 hit 'I Melt With You.' The song became synonymous with the 1980s after it was featured in the cult classic teen film Valley Girl in 1983. Modern English is currently on tour with fellow '80s darlings Simple Minds and Soft Cell, much to the delight of Gen X fans thrilled to be taken back in time.In a video shared to social media, Grey, 67, looks svelte and fit as he introduces the band's most famous hit. The band then launches into a rousing version of the song before Grey encourages the crowd to join in—as if they needed any help.
Grey sounds as good as he looks, and fans were quick to take note. One fan wrote, 'Wow, he looks great!'—a sentiment that summed up what many were thinking.The only thing fans loved more than seeing a beloved '80s rocker looking and sounding as youthful as ever was the band's ability to transport them back in time. One fan wrote, 'Aah, my childhood. When things were good,' while another shared, 'And suddenly I'm back in the '80s!!!'
'And now I'm dancing away,' added one excited fan. And now we are, too.

Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo Aug. 1 (UPI) -- Maroon 5 performed on Today Friday, ahead of their eighth studio album's release Aug. 15. Frontman Adam Levine and lead guitarist James Valentine also discussed the album, titled Love is Like, on the show. "You said, Adam, recently that this album, Love is Like -- this one that's about to come out -- is deeply personal and you're going back to your roots. How so?" co-host Craig Melvin asked Levine. "We came up in a time when like you didn't really have any outside help with writing songs," Levine said. After a long time of collaborative work, this album represented an opportunity "just to come back to, 'Hey, you know, lemme see if we can do this again, and do this just with us and let's see if it still works.'" The album will feature the previously released tracks "All Night," "California" and "Priceless" with Blackpink's Lisa. Other songs include "Hideaway," "Love is Like" with Lil Wayne, "Yes I Did," "I Like It" with Sexyy Red, "Burn Burn Burn," "Jealousy Problems" and "My Love."

Reneé Rapp Is Anything but 'Shy' with 'Late Show 'Performance as She Climbs Out of a Window in Heels — Watch!
The 'Mean Girls' star's album 'Bite Me' is now available to streamNEED TO KNOW Reneé Rapp's dramatic rendition of "Shy" on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is anything but that The Mean Girls actress' dramatic performance was New York City-coded from the exposed brick set and casual fire escape acrobatics Her new album Bite Me is available to stream, and she will embark on her tour in support of it in SeptemberReneé Rapp is anything but shy in her latest performance. The Mean Girls star appeared on the Thursday, July 31 episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to perform "Shy" from her sophomore album Bite Me. Rapp, 25, sings on a set decorated like a small apartment before leaning backwards out of a brick window and gracefully climbing to the fire escape — while still carrying a tune and wearing heels. "Don't handle me with care / When you're pullin' my hair / Baby, ruin my life," she croons. "I want it bad, I swear / That I'm really not scared / I'm just a little bit shy." "Shy" appears on Rapp's new album Bite Me, which she announced in May and came out on Friday, Aug. 1. She spoke about how her mom manifested her becoming a pop star during an appearance on Amy Poehler's podcast Good Hang with Amy Poehler in May, thanks to her name's alliteration. "My mom chose my first and last name to be, well, okay, arguably chose my first and last name to both have [two letter R's]," she recalled. "She was like, 'Alliteration, just in case she wants to be a pop star' before I was born." Though Rapp admitted that her mom's decision was "conceited," she is "obsessed with the way [her mother] did it." "I'm like, thank you, God," she added. Poehler, 53, was impressed with how things came to be. "She gave you a pop star name just in case, because Reneé Rapp is a huge pop star name," the Parks and Recreation star said. Rapp, who released her album Snow Angel in August 2023, told PEOPLE about the inspiration behind the project. "All the songs I write obviously are about things that I've been through personally, but I think that any relationship I've ever had in my life is all culminated into one on this project and in these songs," she said at the time. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. "I love relationships. I love so hard. I am very protective of the people that I love. I'm very protective of myself, and all of these situations were taken from relationships that I had, whether they be good or bad." She also said that Snow Angel featured a "really mature version of myself" with "a little more bite." "I think that a lot of my EP thematically had more of a, 'Oh, no, this is what's happening to me," Rapp said. "This is what I'm going through' thing, which is great, but I think that Snow Angel is a bit more resilient and it's a bit more matter of fact and has a little bit more bite." Up next for the Sex Lives of College Girls actress is a tour through North America in support of her latest album. Kicking off on Sept. 23, Rapp will stop in New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta and Toronto, among other cities, through Oct. 29. Bite Me is available to stream.
