JOHN WAITE NOT ‘MISSING’ CHANCE FOR A COMEBACK

JOHN WAITE NOT ‘MISSING’ CHANCE FOR A COMEBACK



LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) – Not much has been heard from singer John Waite since the 1980s, but the “Missing You” singer won’t be missing in action much longer. 44-year-old Waite is getting ready to release a new CD, Figure In A Landscape, and will be touring with Peter Frampton and Journey later this summer. Although his last hit was 1989’s “When I See You Smile,” both Tina Turner and Brooks & Dunn have remade his 1984 No. 1 hit, “Missing You.” Waite says he’s happy with both versions but for different reasons. He was flattered by Turner’s version because “she used my exact phrasing,” but he says he loved Brooks & Dunn’s country take because it didn’t “sound like me at all.”
