Andrew Ivan Bell (born 25 April 1964) is the lead singer of the English synth-pop duo Erasure. The duo is most popular in their native UK and mainland Europe (especially Germany, Denmark, and Sweden) and also in South America (especially Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Peru).[citation needed] The band is also popular within the LGBT community, for whom the openly gay Bell has become an icon. Erasure have penned over 200 songs and have sold over 25 million albums worldwide. Bell is known for his soulful voice and flamboyant stage persona which contrasts with bandmate Vince Clarke’s low key and deadpan demeanor.
His solo career includes the albums Non-Stop, Electric Blue, and iPop.
