Pet Shop Boys recently appointed a new manager, Angela Becker, to represent them around the world. Angela is based in London and co-managed Madonna from 2004 to the beginning of 2008 when she left work to have a baby. In 2006 she and her co-manager won the Billboard Manager of the Year award. She becomes Pet Shop Boys’ fifth UK manager, following Tom Watkins (1984–1989), Jill Carrington (1989–1998), Mitch Clark (1998–2003) and David Dorrell (2003–2008).
Pet Shop Boys’ “Se a vida é (That’s the way life is)” was released as a single on this day 30 years ago. A video for the song was filmed at the Wet ‘n’ Wild theme park in Orlando, Florida, directed by photographer and filmmaker Bruce Weber who also made the videos for “Being boring” and “I get along”.
