CRIME PAYS FOR EIGHTIES HEROES

Decker gets "shagged to death", while Fish plays a gay man with an S&M fetish in 'Nine Dead Gay Guys'...

Former MARILLION frontman FISH and CAROL DECKER, once frontwoman of 1980's rockers T'PAU, are both set to appear in low budget UK crime caper movie 'NINE DEAD GAY GUYS'.

The singers are set to star in the feature about two Irishmen mixed up in London's homosexual underworld alongside actor Steven Berkoff and camp comedian Julian Clary.

Decker, who plays Berkoff's wife in the film, told the current issue of Q magazine (January 2001) that "basically I get shagged to death. It's actually played for laughs. You can't say no to a scene with Steven Berkoff".

Meanwhile the former Marillion singer plays a gay man with an S&M fetish, miles away from the burly hard man roles he has become know for in UK television series such as 'Taggart'.

"I normally play intimidating guys so wearing red PVC bondage trousers and a Village People moustache was right up my alley."

Fish is also slated to star early next year in 'Stoned', an adaptation of ex-Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham's autobiography of the same name.
