Johnny Logan was living in dingy flat months after Eurovision win

Eurovision legend Johnny Logan shared a dingy flat with five students in England, months after his first taste of Eurovision glory, in 1981.

Logan, 61, who is still the only performer to have won the song contest twice, has said that after his shock 1980 win, with ‘What’s Another Year’, bitter legal wranglings between his management and record companies contributed to the collapse of his career. He told Miriam O’Callaghan, on RTÉ Radio One’s Miriam Meets, that he was advised to buy a house on the strength of the cash he would earn after his win.

However, he said his business and management teams made huge mistakes. The money never materialised, he lost the house, and his career floundered.
