Lead singer Philip Oakey has been the group’s consistent member since 1977 while keyboard players Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh both left the band to form Heaven 17. The Human League now consists of Oakey and long-serving vocalists Joanne Catherall and Susan Anne Sulley.

In other news, Sophie Ellis-Bextor has apologised to Robbie Williams over a “cruel” comment she made about him previously that resurfaced in Netflix‘s new documentary series about the latter singer.
