About
Seán Patrick Michael Sherrard (born 13 May 1954), also known professionally as Johnny Logan, is an Australian-born Irish singer, songwriter and musician. He is known for winning the Eurovision Song Contest twice, in 1980 and 1987. He also composed the winning song in 1992.
Logan won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1980 with the song "What's Another Year", which topped the charts in eight countries. He won for a second time in 1987 with the song "Hold Me Now", which topped the charts in Israel, Ireland and Belgium and was a top-ten hit in ten other music markets. For 36 years he was the only artist to have won the contest twice, until Loreen's second victory in 2023.
Logan has also composed two Eurovision songs for Linda Martin, "Terminal 3" in 1984, and "Why Me?" in 1992. The former placed second, while the latter came first, therefore making Logan one of only five people to have composed two winning Eurovision entries.
