Honky-tonk pianist Hilda Woodward was something like thirty years older than her son Rob - the front man and manager of 1972 chart-toppers, Lieutenant Pigeon. (Other band members may have been younger than Rob Woodward, but I don't have that info to hand.)

Andy Summers is about a decade older than Sting and Copeland.
Saxa, of course. 26 years on next oldest member Dave Wakeling.
But arguably the winner - Baba Oje from Arrested Development. Born around 1931/32 (no-one is quite sure, when he died in 2018 his age was given as 86 or 87), Headliner b. 1967, Speech b. 1968.

The most successful line-up of 808 State had a bit of a generation gap between musicians/producers Price and Massey on the one hand and DJs Partington and Barker (aka the Spinmasters) on the other. When Pacific was released Partington was 19 and Price 34.

Originally posted by multipleman78 View PostKevin Richardson is 9 years older than fellow Backstreet Boy, Nick Carter. That's quite a gap in a boyband.

Englandneworder (1990) technically contained Shilton (40) and Platt (23, a fortnight younger than Gascoigne) but only 6 squad members sang on it the record.
The Spurs squad that recorded a single for the 1987 Cup final contained Clemence (38) and Polston (18).
However, these are obviously not 'groups' in the real sense.
