Well darlings,
They're back! No, no - I'm not on about another Poltergeist film. It's the official news that Mike, Matt and Pete (Stock, Aitken And Waterman - SAW) are at it again - together. The most successful pop songwriter/producer partnership in the world - ever! - have reunited after 14 years. Contrary to what we may have read in the tabloids, the three men have apparently remained friends throughout the years since they dissolved their partnership - with Pete and Mike still producing records together for another couple of years. Any difficulties there were between the three of them over their copyright shares, although unpleasant, was left to be handled by their lawyers and has now been resolved.
Pete, who has been a judge on the pop talent shows "Pop Idol" and "Popstars - The Rivals" decided against appearing on the current X Factor because his eldest son, Paul, was suffering from a severe and mysterious illness at the London's Institute of Neurology. Tragically he died from the illness earlier this year, just days after his father visited Buckingham Palace to receive his OBE. The past few years have not been kind to Pete. It was only in 1999 that Paul's younger brother, Pete Waterman Junior, was also seriously ill and fighting for his life after receiving serious burns following a karting accident. Although still grieving, Pete says on his web site: "I am going to be dedicating myself 100% to Stock Aitken Waterman from now on; I'm not going to be juggling too many things; I am completely focused on making this work. Not that it's going to be that hard
