Derry-born singer Peter Cunnah (57) has expressed regret about allowing his band’s hit song to be made political as he continues to enjoy the fruits of his success.
Peter Cunnah, lead singer of band D:Ream, has made more than £2million from 1994 hit Things Can Only Get Better.
The song was famously used as Labour s theme tune for its 1997 General Election campaign that saw Tony Blair swept into power.
Cunnah, now 54, told DONNA FERGUSON that he is relying on the income from a mix of royalties, property and Bitcoin for his pension. D:Ream s latest album, Open Hearts, Open Minds, has just been released.
