Their breakthrough came with the 1985 album "Welcome to the Real World," which spawned the chart-topping hits "Broken Wings" and "Kyrie." These songs, with their atmospheric sound and introspective lyrics, became iconic anthems of the era. Mr. Mister's sound was characterized by Richard Page's smooth vocals, Steve George's layered keyboard textures, and a sophisticated musical approach that set them apart from many of their contemporaries.
While their initial success was immense, the band's later work did not achieve the same level of commercial success. They eventually disbanded in the late 1980s. However, their legacy endures through their classic hits, which continue to be staples of 80's music playlists. Recently in 2023, the band members reunited to play "Broken Wings" together, for Richard Pages 70th birthday.
