Terry Slater, the visionary manager who propelled A-ha from obscure London strugglers to global superstars with “Take On Me,” has died at 85. Keyboardist Magne Furuholmen called him “the most important person in A-ha’s career,” crediting him not just for business brilliance but for unwavering personal support that shaped their music, careers, and even their families. From his early days as a songwriter with The Everly Brothers to his legendary EMI tenure with Queen and Duran Duran, Slater’s journey culminated in discovering A-ha—and he remained a cherished confidant long after they moved on. His legacy? The timeless sound of Norway’s biggest export, forever echoing around the world.
