Peter Noone was hooking up with groupies, partying with the Rolling Stones, and in AA by the age of 19
|Peter Noone was one member of the popular 60âs band, Hermanâs Hermits.
With his thick head of hair and boyish charm, it would be easy to compare him to a Justin Beiber or Harry Styles of today.
However, there is one distinct difference between this former teen heartthrob and those of todayâŚ
With his adorable face and equally adorable voice, Peter Noone skyrocketed to stardom in his teens as the frontman of Hermanâs Hermits. The band toured both in America and Britain and became iconic.
The band nabbed their first number 1 hit in England in 1964 with âIâm Into Something Good.â
âHermanâs Hermits sold millions of records before anyone even saw us, which just doesnât happen now,â Noone said.
âI didnât know what I was doing: my stage persona was a shy little boy, which is basically what I was.â
Noone and the rest of his band released more than 20 hit records and even outsold the Beatles in 1965. Some of their biggest hits included Iâm Into Something Good, No Milk Today and Thereâs A Kind of Hush (All Over the World).
The band received a million-dollar record deal by the time they were 17, and one of the highlights of Nooneâs career was when Elvis Presley performed one of their hitsââIâm Henry the Eighth, I Amââin 1965 on stage.
âHe was making fun of me, but who cares?â says Noone. âIt was Elvis!â
Even at this young age, Noone was living the quintessential rocker lifestyle.
âAlthough without the drugs bit,â he insists. âThat was never my thing.â
But when asked about all of the other typical rock ânâ roll habits?
