He began his music career way back in the mid-1970s … he was in a duo with Jeff Starrs from 1976 to 1977 before joining the band Studio from 1977 to 1979.<\/p>\n

In 1982, Peter started Naked Eyes with close friend Rob Fisher, and they found instant success. Their debut album — titled “Naked Eyes” in the USA and “Burning Bridges” in the UK — charted on the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n

“Always Something There to Remind Me” — a song from the debut album — proved to be the group’s biggest hit … reaching #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.<\/p>\n

Their other hits include … “(What) In the Name of Love,” “When the Lights Go Out,” and many more.<\/p>\n

Despite their radio hits, Peter and Rob only played together for a couple of years … they disbanded in 1984, having never toured together. Rob died in 1999, and in 2006 Peter restarted the group.<\/p>\n

Peter is survived by his three children … Merlin, Dylan, and Chloe.<\/p>\n

He was 74.<\/p>\n
