His international success continued even though his United States success wavered a bit. In 1990 he came back to U.S. success with his album
Lying To Myself. 1998 brought another top adult contemporary hit with “No Bridge I Wouldn’t Cross”. In 2002, his album
Then and Now went international platinum and brought him back up to the top 5 in UK charts (the first time since 1974). He continues to record and tour all over the world.
