About this listen
Alan Frew is the lead vocalist and founding member of Canadian pop-rock band Glass Tiger, known for timeless hits like “Don’t Forget Me (When I’m Gone)”—which features backing vocals by Bryan Adams—and “Someday” (both top 10 hits in the US).
Originally from Scotland, Frew moved to Canada as a teen and co-founded Glass Tiger in 1983. Their debut album, The Thin Red Line, went quadruple platinum in Canada, earning them a Grammy nomination and multiple Juno Awards. The band followed up with the multi-platinum albums Diamond Sun and Simple Mission, the latter featuring the fan favorite “My Town” with guest vocals by Rod Stewart.
In addition to his Glass Tiger career, Frew has released several solo albums, co-wrote the 2010 Olympic anthem “I Believe,” and authored the motivational memoir The Action Sandwich.
After surviving a stroke in 2015, Frew made a remarkable recovery and continues to tour and record with Glass Tiger, who remain iconic figures in Canadian music and around the world.
