Living in Fear is the second album from the supergroup The Power Station, released in 1996. The band had the same lineup as for their previous album in 1985. However, John Taylor was going through a divorce at the time, as well as entering drug rehab, 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.
Despite John Taylor's absence, he still received credit on the album.
The band toured in support of the album in 1996. The set-list contained a mix of Palmer, Chic, old and new Power Station songs. Luke Morley of Thunder played with them.
Due to the lack of record sales, as well as the deaths of Tony Thompson and Robert Palmer, the album is presumed to be the band's last recording together.
