Ongoing History Daily: Life after music

So what do you do when your music career is finally over?  Here are some examples.

• Richard Coles used to be a keyboardist in the Communards, a gay-friendly band of the 80s. Last I heard, he was the curate of St. Paul’s Church in London, England.
• Louise Wener was the singer in Sleeper, a band who had some hits during the Britpop era. She set her sights on being a professional writer and taught novel-writing. 
• Robert Dean was in a post-punk band called Japan.  He now illustrates books on wildlife with a focus on wild birds.
• Remember Jesus Jones?  Their singer, Mike Edwards, became a personal trainer for a while. 
• And this is my favourite. Terry Chimes played drums with everyone from the Clash to Black Sabbath.  He’s now a chiropractor and runs a very successful practice in England.
