Seán Patrick Michael Sherrard (born 13 May 1954), known professionally as Johnny Logan, is an Irish singer and musician.
He is best known for being the first person to win the Eurovision Song Contest two times.
Johnny Logan was born Seán Patrick Michael Sherrard on 13 May 1954 in Frankston, Victoria.
His father, Charles Alphonsus Sherrard, was a Derry-born Irish tenor better known as Patrick O'Hagan, and happened to be touring Australia at the time of Logan's birth.
The family moved back to Ireland when Logan was three years old.
He learnt the guitar and began composing his own songs by the age of 13.
On leaving school, he apprenticed as an electrician while performing in pubs and cabaret acts.
His earliest claim to fame was starring as Adam in the 1977 Irish musical Adam and Eve, and Joseph in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Logan adopted the stage name Johnny Logan after the main character of the film Johnny Guitar and released his first single in 1978.
He first attempted to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1979, when he placed third in the Irish National Final with the song "Angie".
Readers of The Connaught Telegraph in Ireland voted Logan as Best New Male Artist.
Logan won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1980 with the song "What's Another Year".
In 1980, Logan again entered the Irish National selection for the Eurovision Song Contest with the Shay Healy song "What's Another Year", winning the Irish final on 9 March in Dublin.
Representing Ireland in the Netherlands, Logan won the Eurovision Song Contest on 19 April.
The song became a hit all over Europe and reached number one in the UK.
"In London" was released in June and "Save Me" shortly after.
With confusion by radio stations over which to play, both singles flopped.
Another single released in late 1980, a cover of a recent Cliff Richard song, "Give A Little Bit More" was a more concerted effort and although it narrowly missed the chart.
Logan blames his lack of success in the UK on poor management and his inexperience.
In early 1983, Logan attempted a comeback in the UK with the song "Becoming Electric" with a new sound and image and promotional push, but the song failed to chart.
Having composed the Irish Eurovision Song Contest 1984 entry for Linda Martin, "Terminal 3" (which finished in second place), Logan repeated the collaboration in 1992 when he gave Martin another of his songs, "Why Me".
The song became the Irish entry at the finals in Sweden.
The song took the title and cemented Logan as the most successful artist in Eurovision history with three wins.
Author and historian John Kennedy O'Connor notes in his book The Eurovision Song Contest – The Official History that Logan is the only lead singer to have sung two winning entries and one of only five authors/composers (all men) to have written/composed two winning songs.
In 1985, Logan released his third studio album Straight From The Heart which failed to chart.
He also collaborated on the chart topping charity single "You'll Never Walk Alone" in aid of the Bradford City Disaster Fund.
In 1986, Logan rebranded himself as Logan with the song "Stab in the Back", which also failed to chart.
He won for a second time in 1987 with "Hold Me Now".
In 1987, Logan made another attempt at Eurovision and with his self-penned song, "Hold Me Now", he represented Ireland at the Eurovision Song Contest in Belgium.
The song won the contest and Logan became the first person to win the contest twice.
"Hold Me Now" became a major European hit and reached number two in the UK.
