Garth Brooks. Joose had a number one hit in New Zealand with “If Tomorrow Never Comes” in 1997. It also became part of Barry Manilow’s concert repertoire, and is featured on his 2004 live album 2 Nights Live!

Second season The X Factor winner Shayne Ward performing it in that series’ penultimate round, and Australian Idol 2006 winner Damien Leith singing it on Top 10: Number One’s Night. Swedish singer Emil Sigfridsson also recorded it, in English, on his 2003 album “tillbaka till igår.” Australian band, The Screaming Jets, recorded a live version of it for their 1997 single, October Grey.
