Glenn Tilbrook (born Glenn Martin Tilbrook,
on 31
August 1957,
in Woolwich,
South East London) is the
lead singer, and guitarist of the English group Squeeze,
a power
pop band formed in the mid-1970s. Glenn generally wrote the music for
Squeeze, while his writing partner, Chris
Difford, wrote the lyrics.
Over the duration of Squeeze's first hiatus, from
approximately 1983
to 1985,
Tilbrook wrote, recorded, and toured with Difford as an act called Difford & Tilbrook.
Since Squeeze's final breakup in 1999, Glenn has pursued a solo career, often
touring around the UK and U.S.
in an unreliable RV, playing small venues to
audiences of faithful and highly supportive fans. He currently has two
solo albums, The Incomplete Glenn Tilbrook and Transatlantic
Ping-Pong. Tilbrook co-wrote some of the songs for his solo
recordings with artists such as Ron Sexsmith, Chris
Braide and Aimee
Mann. In 2006, the documentary "Glenn Tilbrook: One for the Road" was
released. The film follows Glenn on his November 2001 tour across
America.
Glenn supports Charlton Athletic.
