I wonder if Kelly was a guest of Bevs? ShardEnder do you know what the backstory on this aspect of the Wembley gig?

(Sorry - I've been incredibly busy lately!) To be honest, this is the first I've heard of Kelly possibly being in the VIP section at the 07-05-1986 show, but Bev's description might help with another mystery I'd been trying to solve from around the same era: Kelly's fashion choices during his early-to-mid 1980s "beige period" are confusing enough, only I'd been struggling to pin down even a rough date for this image due to his hair not fitting anywhere in the timeline I've put together. Yes, that is a thing.

Looking at those cars I'd say 1980 to 83ish?

Kelly’s disguised as Leo Sayer.

Kelly’s disguised as Leo Sayer. Judging by where Kellys hands are, is he trying to get a falsetto voice?

Wonder if Kelly was trialling wigs due to his hair loss. Yes, the car on the right is an early Montego. I had a couple of Maestro's in the 90s ( the earlier hatchback variant) so saw plenty of Montego's in scrapyards searching for parts.

The wig theory sounds right, it was only a few years later when Kelly went totally bald save for the ponytail.

It's a shame when men feel they have to have a wig, they tend to look much better if they embrace being bald. Unless they do the whole Elton thing of course, and have a massive powdered wig with a ship in full sail on top. That kind of brilliance can only ever be applauded. But it isn't very practical, for instance when shopping in Aldi.

The Escort in the picture seems in good condition, this is a Mk2 which was produced from 1974-80, more specifically the model shown has square headlights which were introduced on the GL model in 1979.
