Christopher Hamill (born 19 December 1958), better known by his stage name Limahl (an anagram of Hamill), is an English pop singer. He rose to fame as the lead singer of the 1980s pop group Kajagoogoo, before embarking on a briefly successful solo career, which reached its peak with the 1984 hit "The NeverEnding Story", the theme song for the film of the same name.
In The Neverending Story music video, Limahl (Christopher Hamill) is accompanied by actress Mandy Newton, who lip syncs the words sung by Beth Anderson. Mandy was hired to "perform" the song in the video, because she was already in the UK and had previously worked with Limahl, while Beth was expensively located in the US. Mandy Newton performed with Limahl as a backup singer on many occasions during his solo career. Neither Limahl nor Beth actually met during the recording of the song, but later performed together on a few occasions in the US.
