Living in Fear is the second album from the supergroup The Power Station, released in 1997. The band had the same lineup as for their previous album in 1985. However, John Taylor was going through a divorce at the time and pulled out before the album was recorded. Instead Bernard Edwards, the producer, played all Taylor's bass parts on the record. Unfortunately, Edwards died of pneumonia in Japan before the album was released; the album is dedicated to his memory. These two events did not help the album and it was not a commercial success, with only one single, "She Can Rock It", being released.
The band toured in support of the album in 1997. The set-list contained a mix on Palmer, Chic, old and new Power Station songs. Luke Morley of Thunder played with them.
