May’s unexpected Frankie Goes To Hollywood Eurovision 2023 reunion was both exciting and disappointing in equal measure: exciting, as it marked the first time the full band had played together since splitting 36 years before; but disappointing because they performed just one song, and to date at least, there’s been no confirmation of any more.
