The Madness
The Madness was a short-lived spin-off group of Madness formed by Suggs, Chas Smash, Lee Thompson and Chris Foreman in 1988. While The Guinness Book of British Hit Singles and many on-line discographies consider this band to be the same as "Madness", the band themselves consider "The Madness" to be a separate and distinct project.
