Air Supply will mark their 50th anniversary with dates in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in September.
Air Supply formed in Melbourne after the members met on 12 May, 1975 while rehearsing in the ensemble for ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’. Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell were in the chorus.
Hitchcock, Russell and then singer Chrissie Hammond toured with Superstar for 18 months. When Superstar ended she also left to form her own band Cheetah with her sister. Jeremy Paul (later of Divinyls) joined and Air Supply released their debut single ‘Love and Other Bruises’ in October 1976.
Air Supply’s self-titled debut album was released in December, 1976.
The American success came in 1980 with the number one hit ‘All Out of Love’.
Air Supply would go on to have 14 Top 40 hits in the USA establishing them as one of Australia’s most successful exports.
