Like most people in showbiz on planet earth, former āTMZ on TVā guy Sean Borg went on the down-low during the Coronavirus lockdown, on a spiritual quest, hiding out in the mountains of Sedona, Arizona.
How cool! After deleting his Facebook page back in May, Sean started posting more pictures to his Instagram roll.
Earlier this week, the British celebrity put out a series of artsy throwbacks from 1992 in the days when he was a member of the glamourous āElectropopā trio āĀ āStuff &Ā Art.ā In the sexy, but tasteful naked snaps by top UK photographer Simon Fowler, who has shot everyone you can imagine, from Aussie star Kylie Minogue to the late Freddy Mercury and Queen, Jason Donavan, and even the Rolling Stones, Sean and his band-mates strip off, posing totally starkers. Strewth!
So, who was Stuff & Art, and what are they up to now? We all know Sean has had a long and successful career in entertainment news. He even helped Australian actress and singer Natalie Imbruglia in securing her first major recording deal in the UK. He went on to be one of the international Trivago spokespeople, appearing in the world-famous hotel advertisements, amongst other things.
Best in Au reached out to Borg for comment on the pictures, and about the time he calls,Ā āhis fun and fabulous path,ā he told us:Ā āIām soĀ proud of the pics, I loved working with Simon Fowler. I think it was Simonās idea that we all strip off in the name of āpop artā (he laughed). Beverly (Skye Mary) sent them to me a few weeks back. I was reluctant to post them atĀ first. The pictures were never released; no one had ever seen them before. But I thought about it and decided what theĀ hell, we all look good!ā
So, what happened to Stuff & Art?
Sean said:Ā āWe were doing quite well actually. Our song that I wroteĀ āĀ āAll IĀ Desiredā was receiving excellent reviews. We were on a huge Radio One Roadshow tour with Kylie Minogue, Jason Donavan, āTake Thatā andĀ āM-People,ā and was about to sign a massive deal with EMI who NathanĀ āĀ thenĀ the lead singer with Brother Beyond was signed to.ā
He said: āHowever, as fate would have it, while we were on tour, Beverly ā who was goingĀ out with bass player Graham Clark of pop-supergroup āWet We Wet,ā discovered she was pregnantĀ with Grahamās baby, which was incredible for her. But we decided theĀ right thing to do was to take a break for a while. But due to other commitments, we never found time to get back together. So, it was bye-bye, pop career!ā
He added:Ā āIām happy to say everyone went on to great things, I leftĀ forĀ Los Angeles to pursue work opportunities focusing on a career inĀ entertainment news television. Nathan left āBrother Beyondā andĀ joined āWorlds Apart,ā he enjoyed enormous āboybandā success acrossĀ Europe. Beverly is now a successful model and songwriter. She married Graham at the height of Wet Wet Wetās success when āLove is All Aroundā was in the charts.Ā Their son, Alexander, is now 27-years old. Wow! The years have certainly flownĀ by.ā
Sean said he doesnāt miss being in the music industry one bit. He said, āI donāt miss it all! It was very stressful and anĀ emotional roller coaster ride. Fame doesnāt always bring happiness; I have learned.ā
