  Before the live performance in January 2023, Colin Hay, the frontman of Men at Work, had a storied career both with the band and as a solo artist. The group's third studio album, "Two Hearts," was released in 1985, followed by their disbandment in 1986. Although Men at Work had initially risen to fame in the early 1980s with hits like "Down Under" and "Who Can It Be Now?", Hay continued to create music and tour as a solo artist. The 2023 performance of "Overkill" showcases his enduring appeal and the song's lasting popularity, which was originally featured on the band's second album, "Cargo," released in 1983. Hay's acoustic rendition during the TELEFUNKEN live session highlights his ability to connect with audiences in an intimate setting and reaffirms the timelessness of Men at Work's music, well beyond their initial chart success.

  On June 4, 2023, Colin Hay, the frontman of Men at Work, participated in a live recording alongside Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band. This collaboration highlights Hay's enduring connection to the music scene, as he continues to perform well after Men at Work's peak success in the 1980s. Prior to his current endeavors, Men at Work released their last studio album, "Brazil," in 1996, and the band officially disbanded in 1986 after achieving worldwide acclaim with hits like "Down Under" and "Who Can It Be Now?" Interestingly, Colin Hay has maintained a solo career with an emphasis on acoustic music, which has allowed him to adapt his classic hits for new audiences. This live performance showcases not only his artistic longevity but also the timeless appeal of Men at Work’s music, bridging connections with both classic rock fans and new listeners alike.
