The Radios

The Radios was a Belgian pop band that was founded at the end of the 1980s by singer/songwriter Bart Peeters. The group was initially named Bart Peeters & the Radios, with members Paul Michiels and Jan Leyers. Their first hit was "I'm into Folk", released in 1988. However, when Michiels and Leyers scored an international hit (The Way to Your Heart) with their other project Soulsister, they were forced to say goodbye to Bart Peeters & the Radios. Brothers Ronny and Robert Mosuse, who made a splash during the 1988 Humo's Rock Rally, became members of The Radios, as did guitarist Dany Lademacher (a member of Herman Brood & His Wild Romance for many years). The group scored their greatest hit with "She Goes Nana" in 1992, a song that topped the Belgian hit parade (Ultratop) for 6 weeks. The band toured around the world in that era. Other hits were "Teardrops", "Walking the Thin Line", "She's My Lover" and "Dreaming Wild". Meanwhile, the group is carrying a heavy secret: Robert Mosuse has an untreatable brain tumor, but he wants to spend his remaining time on stage, while the fans have no idea. In 1994, at the height of their success, internal struggles eventually led to the split of The Radios, and they each went their own way. Robert Mosuse died in 2000, at the age of 30.
