If you were a child of the '80s, you probably loved the Pet Shop Boys, whose synth-pop sounds and kooky lyrics ("I've got the brains/ You've got the looks/ Let's make lots of money") made for the most infectious songs this side of Britpop.

Throughout the decade and a little beyond, the duo topped the charts again and again, with earworms such as West End Girls, It's A Sin, What Have I Done To Deserve This, Always On My Mind, Heart, Opportunities, Go West and Domino Dancing - making them most successful duo in UK music history according to record sales.

Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, now aged 64 and 59 respectively, are coming to Singapore to play their greatest hits at the Star Theatre. And if history is any indication, the concert is set to be another multimedia spectacle, with cinematic clips and laser lights.
