Peter Blair Denis Bernard Noone was born in Manchester, England, where he studied voice and acting at St. Bede's College and the Manchester School of Music and Drama. As a child, he played Stanley Fairclough in the long-running British soap opera "Coronation Street." He was also featured in the television series "Knight Errant, Family Solicitor" and "Monro’s Saki Stories."
At the age of 15, he achieved international fame as "Herman," lead singer of the legendary pop band Herman's Hermits. His classic hits include "Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter," "I'm Henry VIII, I Am," "There's A Kind of Hush" and "Dandy." Herman's Hermits sold more than 52 million recordings; 14 singles and seven albums went gold.
As Herman, Noone graced the cover of nearly every international publication including Time Magazine. He performed on hundreds of television shows and appeared with such luminaries as Ed Sullivan, Jackie Gleason, Dean Martin and Danny Kaye. He also starred in three feature films for MGM: "Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter," "Hold On!" and "When The Boys Meet The Girls."
In the '80s, Noone starred on Broadway in the New York Shakespeare Festival’s production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s "The Pirates of Penzance" and has continued to play Frederic with both the U.S. National Touring Company and the International Touring Company of Pirates. More recently, he was featured in the recurring role of Paddington on the CBS daytime drama "As The World Turns."
New York Daily News dubbed him "The King of the Sixties on the Internet" because of the overwhelming popularity of peternoone.com and hermanshermits.com.
Accompanied by his band, Noone performs more than 200 concerts a year.
