British rock band Sleeper were catapulted to fame in 1992 and bagged eight top 40 hits and three top ten albums, before splitting in 1998.
The group's songs included Nice Guy Eddie and The It Girl and featured on the soundtrack of iconic movie Trainspotting.
Now the band are back together for a new UK tour with front woman Louise Wener, 57, looking nothing short of sensational and decades younger than her years.
Since the group's demise Louise worked with other musicians including the late great George Michael, before writing four novels as well as Radio 4 Drama series Queens of Noise.
Speaking about the career change she told the Yorkshire Post writing gave her 'control' over her work after years in the 'ludicrous circus' of the music industry.

The group's songs included Nice Guy Eddie and The It Girl and featured on the soundtrack of iconic movie Trainspotting (L-R Andy Maclure, Louise, Jon Stewart, Diid Osmanand )
Saying: '[In a band] You'd find yourself arguing about chorus progression in a studio then you've got producers and managers and PR people.
'It just became this ludicrous circus by the end of it and I didn't feel connected to the creative process very much by that stage.
Before adding: 'I just wanted something where I could just sit in my joggers and have total independence.'
The group initially split in 1998 before reuniting in 2017 for the Britpop themed Star Shaped Festival in London.
Louise will be joined on the tour by original Sleeper members Andy Maclure, Jon Stewart as well as The Prodigy's Kieron Pepper.
Sleeper Unplugged kicks off in Reading on June 13 with six shows before ending in bath on June 22.
Louise announced the news on X writing: 'Join us for our next run of fabulous unplugged eves!! Tickets on sale now!'.
Last year it was reported that fellow 90s band The Prodigy, who's star Kieron Pepper will join Slepper on tour, had rewritten one of their most famous hits after facing 26-years of backlash.

The track Smack My B***h Up which was first released in 1997 has faced calls to be banned after being accused of glamorising domestic violence.
Now after years of refusing to change the lyrics lead singer Maxim opted to miss out the offending line and simply repeat 'change my pitch up' at two recent London gigs according to The Sun.
Despite the original controversy the track reached number eight in the charts performed by the group's then frontman Keith Flint, who died in 2019 aged 49.
At the time the BBC Radio 1 banned the song while the ITV Chart Show refused to display it's title on screen when the video was played.
MailOnline contacted the band's reps for comment at the time.
