Artistfacts:
Colin Hay was born in Scotland, and moved with his family to Australia when he was 14. He formed an acoustic duo with Strykert, which evolved into Men At Work.
Their first album, Business As Usual, spent 15 weeks at #1 in the US, which was a record for a debut album. It was eventually knocked off the top spot by Michael Jackson's Thriller.
At the 1983 Grammy Awards, they won for Best New Artist.
Since 1996, the band has played select gigs, but are largely inactive. Colin Hay has released several albums as a solo artist.
