Rupert Holmes Rupert Holmes (born February 24, 1947) is an American and British composer, songwriter and (More) Rupert Holmes (born February 24, 1947) is an American and British composer, songwriter and author of plays, novels and stories. He is best known for his number one pop hit "Escape" (subtitled "The Pia Colada Song") in 1979 and his Tony Award winning musical The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Life and career Holmes was born in Northwich, Cheshire, England. His father was a United States Army Warrant Officer and bandleader, and his mother was English, and both were musical. Holmes has dual American and British citizenship. The family moved, after a few years, to the northern New York City suburb of Nanuet, New York, where Holmes grew up and attended nearby Nyack High School and then the Manhattan School of Music (majoring in clarinet). Holmes' brother, Richard, is an opera singer based in New York City and is the principal lyric baritone of the New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players, sings roles with regional opera companies, such as Glimmerglass Opera, Lake George, and Virginia Opera, among others, and has appeared at the Metropolitan Opera. Holmes' daughter Wendy died suddenly in 1986, at the age of ten, of an undiagnosed brain tumor. He has two sons, Nick and Tim (who has autism). [edit] Songwriter and recording artist In his 20s, Holmes was a session musician (producing sessions, writing and arranging songs, singing and playing a few instruments), who wrote jingles and pop tunes (including for Gene Pitney, the Platters, the Drifters and television's The Partridge Family). As a recording artist, Holmes broke through with 1974's Widescreen on Epic Records, which introduced him as a presenter of highly romantic, lushly orchestrated "story songs" that told a witty narrative punctuated by clever rhymes and a hint of comedy. Barbra Streisand discovered this album and asked to record songs from it, launching Holmes on a successful career. She then used some of his songs in the movie A Star Is Born. His second, self-titled album led Rolling Stone to compare him to Bob Dylan in the sense of being an artist of unprecedented originality that commanded attention. Holmes' production skills were also in demand during this period, and he took on this role for Lynsey De Paul on her album "Tigers and Fireflies", which spawned the radio hit "Holiday Romance". That album also featured a song, the bluesy "'Twas", co-written by the two. "Escape" was included on his fifth album, Partners in Crime, and reached the Hot 100 No. 1 Hits of 1979. The song hit #1 late December 1979, becoming the last song to top the pop chart in the 1970s. The song fell to #2 for the first week of January, 1980 and then rebounded to #1 the next week, making Holmes the only artist to ascend to the #1 spot with the same song in different decades. Another popular song on that album was "Him". Holmes wrote a song for the band The Buoys called "Timothy," possibly the only top-40 song about cannibalism. Holmes was not in the band, but did play piano on the track. He also wrote "Give Up Your Guns", "The Prince of Thieves", "Blood Knot", and "Tomorrow" for the band. "Timothy" charted at #17 and "Give Up Your Guns" at #84. In 1986 Holmes's composition "You Got It All" (sometimes called "You Got It All Over Him") was a hit single for The Jets and later recorded by pop superstar Britney Spears, featured in her internationally released version of Oops!...I Did It Again (2000). In the 1980s and 1990s, Holmes also played in cabarets and comedy clubs, mostly in New York City, telling often autobiographical anecdotes illustrated with his songs. [edit] Playwright Cast album cover Rupert Holmes made his professional debut as a playwright with the musical The Mystery of Edwin Drood in 1985. Holmes was encouraged to write a musical by Joseph Papp and his wife after they attended one of Holmes's cabarets in 1983. The result, loosely based on the Charles Dickens unfinished novel, and inspired by Holmes's memories of English pantomime shows he attended as a child, would earn Holmes Tony Awards for both book and score, as well as Drama Desk Awards (for book, music, and lyrics), and various other honors. Holmes also orchestrated Edwin Drood himself, making him one of the few Broadway composers to write his own orchestrations. Because the original novel was left unfinished after Dickens's death, Holmes came up with the unusual idea of providing alternate endings for each character who is suspected of the murder, and letting the audience vote on a different murderer each night. The success of Drood would lead Holmes to focus more on writing plays (both musical and non-) in later years, though he has stated that he avoided musical theater for some time after the untimely death of his daughter. Holmes also wrote the Tony Award-nominated ("Best Play 2003") Say Goodnight, Gracie, based on the relationship between George Burns and Gracie Allen. The play, which starred Frank Gorshin, was that Broadway season's longest running play. He has also written the comedy-thriller Accomplice (1990), which was the second of Holmes's plays to receive an Edgar Award (following Drood.) Holmes has written a number of other shows, including Solitary Confinement (2002), which set a new Kennedy Center box office record before its Broadway run; Thumbs, the most successful play in the history of the Helen Hayes Theatre Company; and the musical Marty. Holmes also joined the creative team of Curtains, after the deaths of both Peter Stone (the original book-writer) and Fred Ebb (the lyricist). Holmes rewrote Stone's original book and contributed additional lyrics to the Kander and Ebb songs. Curtains is currently (as of 2007) playing at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre on Broadway, with David Hyde Pierce and Debra Monk in the lead roles. Holmes and the late Peter Stone won the 2007 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Book of a Musical for Curtains. (Less)

Youthanasia
Early in 1994, Megadeth again teamed up with co-producer Max Norman to begin work on the follow up to Countdown to Extinction. With three members of the band now residing in Arizona, initial work began at Phase Four Studios in Phoenix. A few days into pre-production, problems with Phase Four's equipment forced the band to seek out an alternative studio. Mustaine, however, insisted on recording at his home state of Arizona, and no suitable recording facility could be found in time. At the request of co-producer Norman, the band opted to construct their own recording studio inside of a rented warehouse in Phoenix, Arizona, later dubbed "Fat Planet in Hangar 18".[30] For the first time in their career, the band wrote and arranged the entire album in studio, and included basic tracks recorded live by the whole band at the same time.[31] Recording of the album was captured on video, and later released as Evolver: The Making of Youthanasia.
Following eight months in the studio, Youthanasia was released on November 1, 1994, debuting at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart in the US.[24] The album was certified gold in Canada in just thirty minutes, and was certified platinum in the US faster than any other Megadeth album. With producer Max Norman still pushing for a slower, more commercial sound, Youthanasia followed the stylistic shift that began with Countdown to Extinction.[32] While still retaining core metal elements, the album focused on stronger vocal melodies and more accessible, radio friendly arrangements.[33] The band even enlisted noted fashion photographer Richard Avedon to further their new image, dropping their jeans and t-shirts for more style conscious look.[31]
A sticker on initial releases of Youthanasia advertised the then-new concept of a band website, affectionately known as "Megadeth, Arizona". Fans could chat in the "Mega-diner", correspond with the band through email, request songs to be played live, and read columns and tour diaries written by band members.[34]
Youthanasia's first single, "Train of Consequences",(sample (help·info)) reached #29 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock charts, and in November 1994, Megadeth appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman, performing the album's second single, "A Tout Le Monde". (sample (help·info))[34] "A Tout Le Monde" also received a music video, which MTV refused to play, thinking its lyrics were an endorsement of suicide.[30]
Live support for Youthanasia began in South America in November 1994, and would span eleven months, becoming Megadeth's most extensive tour to date. The band was joined by Corrosion of Conformity in both Europe and the US, and Flotsam and Jetsam, Korn and Fear Factory in the US. The tour culminated with an appearance at the Monsters of Rock festival in Brazil, co-headlining alongside Alice Cooper and Ozzy Osbourne. In January 1995, Megadeth appeared on the soundtrack to the horror film Tales from the Crypt Presents: Demon Knight with the song "Diadems". Megadeth also contributed a cover version of "Paranoid" (sample (help·info)) to Nativity in Black, the first Black Sabbath tribute album. The band's version of "Paranoid" was nominated for a Grammy in 1996 for Best Metal Performance, Megadeth's sixth nomination in as many years.[21]
In March 1995, Megadeth released a special edition of Youthanasia in Europe, containing a bonus disc entitled Hidden Treasures. The bonus disc featured every one-off song by Megadeth, from film soundtracks, compilations, and tribute albums, including a new recording of the Sex Pistols' "Problems". Due to fan demand, the bonus disc was released as its own EP in the United States and Japan in July 1995
