The Drunk Models Behind the Most Iconic Video​

The story behind Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" video is one of the most bizarre in MTV history. For ten years, Palmer was the most respected artist in rock who couldn't sell a single record. Island Records gave him a house in the Bahamas and he still hit number 107 on Billboard. Then a fashion photographer, a bottle of wine, and five models who couldn't play a note turned him into the biggest star in the world — in one day, in a London basement. A guitar to the back of the head, a drummer who liked his bum, and a music teacher who gave up after one hour. He made the same video three times. When he stopped, nobody cared.
