- MARK JEFFERIES

ABC singer Martin Fry has revealed that in the 80s he turned down the chance to write the soundtrack for Top Gun, convinced the film was going to be a massive flop.

The singer was at the height of his fame with ABC, who had hits with The Look of Love and Poison Arrow in 1982, when he was approached about the 1986 Tom Cruise film.

But after attending a special screening of the director's rough cut, Martin refused.
