Limahl announces new album: Return of the 80s legend in Vienna!

International pop artist Limahl, known for his iconic hit “Never Ending Story” from the 1984 film, remains a sought-after musician at 66 years old. He is currently announcing a new album, which is expected to be released in 2026 or 2027. This would be his first album in 30 years; his last work, "Love Is Blind", dates from 1992. Limahl, whose real name is Christopher Hamill, has not only released singles such as "Still In Love" and "A Horse With No Name" in recent years, but has also made a remarkable return to the music scene. Today reports that he has been working for months on his new single, which combines electronic beats and is inspired by the music of the band America.

As the singer emphasizes in several interviews, “A Horse With No Name” is a lifelong companion for him. Limahl wants to put his own stamp on this cover song and was inspired by Luther Vandross. His new music video, which features an apocalyptic theme, was created together with director Goat. These promising developments express his passion for music while leaving behind the pressures of a label contract and working as an independent artist. Out reports that throughout his career, Limahl has always emphasized a healthy lifestyle to preserve his voice, avoiding smoking and drugs.

A new era – performances and engagements

Limahl also remains active live and will perform as part of the “Forever Young – The 80s Festival” on July 24, 2026 on the Donauinsel in Vienna. At this festival he will share the stage with greats like Kim Wilde, Alphaville and T’Pau. The artist looks back fondly on his performances, including at Hessentag 2018, where he thrilled the audience with hits from the 80s, including his famous “Never Ending Story”. Hersfeld newspaper highlights the sustainability of his artistic work and shows that his music is still alive and reaching younger generations.

Also noteworthy is Limahl’s personal journey. The singer, who has been outwardly private about his sexual orientation in the past, has been with his partner Steve for over 32 years. He emphasizes that respect and understanding are the cornerstones of their successful relationship and seems committed to actively supporting the LGBTQ+ community. This is also reflected in his participation in events such as Pride in Cologne, where he raises his voice for equality. In an interview, Limahl even expressed regret over not recording more music with Kajagoogoo, but is optimistic about the opportunities his artistic career has opened up for him.

With his return to the music world and his upcoming projects, Limahl impressively shows that he is far from having reached the end of his journey. Fans can look forward to seeing what the versatile artist has up his sleeve next!
