The Hollywood star Mark Wahlberg (also known as rapper Marky Mark) worked together with Ian Cussick on Wahlberg ´s musical dedication to Polish boxer Dariusz Michalczewski "No Mercy" https://youtu.be/ijZb8WJkTQg which sold well over a quarter million singles and went Top 40 Europewide.
,
Going back in time a bit, even the Hollies (multi-chart hit band from the 1960´s) wanted Ian as their singer back in 1978 when Alan Clark left the band for his solo career. Cussick rightly (or wrongly) stood by his guns and continued working on his solo projects. Or the top US rock band Foreigner who also wanted Ian Cussick after Lou Gramm left the band in 1979... owing to contractual obligations, Lou Gramm returned to Foreigner but it was a close thing that Ian nearly became the new Foreigner frontman.

What would have happened if Ian Cussick`s record company has released the song " Without you", https://youtu.be/Hat1Hc9SNwE which Mariah Carey made a world-wide hit a year later? To renounce as it would sound the Scotsman would have accepted the offers must not music lovers on it. With this brand-new project, Ian Cussick recounts and relives those heady days of the music business singing his own up-to-date versions of music he wrote, co-wrote, or participated in throughout the past 40-something years in the music business.

Look forward to new interpretations of „Shame, Shame, Shame“ and „Like ice in the sunshine“ Experience how it would have sounded, if Ian Cussick decided to accept the offers from the Hollies and from Foreigner and playing songs like , „He ain´t heavy“, „ I wanna know what love is“, „Cold as ice“ „Juke box hero“ in completely independent versions.

A highly musical evening full of hits from 30 years of rock history with the original voice of the songs and one of the most extraordinary ones that this continent has produced. This voice will captivate you! Here comes Ian Cussick - Here comes „The King of Fate“
