[Pop Bitch] An 80s pop star has recently turned to fans to help crowdfund his lifestyle.
However, his devoted fans might not be quite so generous if they knew something!
His mum won a jackpot sum on the lottery a few years ago.
Their idol got a seven-figure slice of the pie.

Boy George?
He was among my 80s favorites … since his run ins with the law during the Aughts, not so much. He & a DJ friend of his also bullied a more current favorite singer of mine.

This is definitely MARILYN aka Peter Robinson. He goes by the username @MisterMarilyn on Twitter. Boy George made a dig about his mother’s win a few years ago on Twitter and Popbitch reported on the win. Marilyn is constantly complaining about being swindled & heartbroken by his ex BF leaving him broke and unable to pay the telephone bill. A few weeks ago, he set up a PayPal. Me begging fans for money and got upset when someone only sent him 1p!
Favourite 80s popstar =Madonna.

No idea. But expecting fans to donate money to fund “your lifestyle”, like you’re a charity, is beyond heinous. Get a job, and live within your means, you selfish, irresponsible, lazy jerk.

Billy Idol?
As a teen in the 80s far too many to say! Must include George Michael and Prince though but some great bands/great fun had by all!!

Going out on a limb and guessing this is Martin Frye of ABC.
Clue being dollars and music note/
ABC’s song “How To Be A Millionaire”.
Favorite 80’s pop star? David Bowie and Tina Turner separately. And together they’re magic.

Pop Star : Marilyn
he has been trying to fund his lifestyle from fans for years, not much money coming in from royalties nowadays from 1 hit single & 1 album released over 35 years ago. It was reported a few years ago about his mother’s big win.

Boy George is working on several countries on The Voice, i doubt he has money problems.
I think my favourite singer of the 80’s is George Michael, so many timeless songs
TruePatriot says
Not a clue but seriously funny to think how deluded this is…
I was 16 – 26 from 80-90. I really loved the RHCP, Zeppelin, Yes, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Fleetwood Mac, Rush and that ilk. I spent a lot of that time in college (obviously). lol

OK, so I like to have a poke around at the clues.
I’m looking at the word “devoted”; I have two theories:
One is that it’s David Van Day from British 80s duet Dollar (DeVoteD). OR
The yellow music note is a clue, and it could be someone from the band Devo, mentioning the “mum” (it’s from a UK publication) meaning it’s one of the Mothersbaugh brothers. There, I think I’ve cracked it, LOL! (I’m kidding).

Marilyn is the answer, he was dating Gavin Rossdale from Bush until Gwen Stefani lured him away.
Fave 80s, theres too many!! Simon Le Bon, Madonna, Prince, Morten Harket, Sting
Paul Young, Nick Hayward, Peter Cox, Dave Gahan, but i will choose my fave bands singer HOLLY JOHNSON.
