Mike Score (born Michael Score, 5 November 1957,[1] Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire, England[2]) is the keyboardist, guitarist, and lead singer for the New Wave band, A Flock of Seagulls.

Career

Score had previously been a hairdresser, and was well-known for his distinctive combed-back hairstyle. By 1984, he grew out his hair making it longer in the back and combed it to the side.

He was in the band A Flock of Seagulls until 1986, but when he decided to reform the band again in 1989, the other members declined to join him. He still performs and tours with A Flock of Seagulls but with different members.[1]

In 2004, the original members of A Flock of Seagulls were reunited by VH1's Bands Reunited. They played their hit "I Ran (So Far Away)" at a one-off performance in London. In an interview before the performance, it was revealed that his 'seagull' or 'wings' hairstyle was created when Score was trying to style his hair like that of David Bowie's character, Ziggy Stardust. AFOS bassist Frank Maudsley was trying to use the mirror at the same time, and placed his hand on Score's head, leaving only the hair on the sides of his head sticking up. The reunion of the band apparently resolved tension between himself and his brother, Ali Score, the band's ex-drummer, which had been present since the band's break-up.

As of December 2007, Score lives in Brevard County, Florida on the Indian River. He ran a restaurant called The Legends Café in Cocoa Beach,[2] which closed in 2008.
