00:00It's a rip rolling rollercoaster ride of fun and anti.
00:04It really is.
00:06It's a reunion 25 years in the making.
00:09One of the biggest boy bands of the 90s is making a comeback.
00:13That's right, five are back.
00:15And for the first time in decades, all five original members
00:18are reuniting for a massive arena tour this autumn.
00:22No, it is genuinely, you know, amazing to reconnect,
00:26like, you know, all five of us again.
00:28And to then go out to reconnect as friends was one bonus
00:33and then to get a sellout arena tour, you know,
00:36and then add dates and, you know, be on 25 dates is just unbelievable.
00:43They were one of the most successful and iconic boy bands of all time.
00:48Topping charts across the globe and now Abs Love, Jay Brown, Richie Neville,
00:52Scott Robinson and Sean Conlon are hitting the road
00:55playing shows across the UK and Ireland.
00:58I can't think of anything that I'm not looking forward to.
01:00Not the moment.
01:01It's going to be amazing, you know, to bring our families,
01:05to bring our kids, you know, for everyone to see it,
01:07for the bands to get to see it after all these years.
01:09It's just incredible.
01:10There is no negativity.
01:11We're in a very privileged position to be doing it.
01:13Yeah.
01:14Like we're basically coming back after being away for 24, 25 years
01:17and selling out a 25-day arena tour.
01:20So it's, everything's just a privilege and not waiting for it all.
01:25Mm-hmm.
01:26They're performing at the M&S Bank Arena on Wednesday the 5th
01:29and Sunday the 30th of November,
01:31which is their last show on their UK leg of the tour.
01:35We wrap up the UK leg of the tour on the 30th.
01:38So it's like a party in Liverpool.
01:40Yeah.
01:41Are the Scousers up for it?
01:42Yes.
01:43That's what we want to know.
01:44I think we know the answer to it.
01:45Yeah, but are they going to end the UK leg?
01:46In the correct manner.
01:47Yeah, I think they will.
01:48Yeah.
01:49I think they will.
01:50Yeah.
01:51Casty will.
01:52Casty will.
01:53That's why we're doing it.
01:54We know it's going to happen.
01:55Formed in 1997, five skyrocketed to fame with chart-topping hits,
02:00selling more than 20 million records worldwide.
02:03Charting in over 20 countries, five are the only UK act
02:06to hit the top 10 with all of their 11 singles,
02:09including three number ones.
02:12Are there any songs that you're looking forward to performing in particular?
02:16Yes.
02:17Keep On Moving, Got The Feeling, Slam Dunk The Funk,
02:20Everybody Get Up, We Will Rock You.
02:22It's The Things You Do, When The Lights Go Out.
02:25Let's Dance.
02:26Let's Dance.
02:27Invincible.
02:28Invincible.
02:29Closer To Me.
02:30Serious.
02:31Rock The Party.
02:32Lay All Your Loving On Me.
02:34Can't wait.
02:35That was impressive.
02:36That was about four of us.
02:37All of those.
02:38Yeah, they're wasted.
02:39Five are back, and they're ready to make you get down once again.
02:44I think the first time we actually walk on stage, the very first gig we do,
02:49after 25 years, all just looking at each other and going on,
02:52and then that first song, making a couple of mistakes,
02:55but just getting over it.
02:56That's going to be emotional.
02:57Moving on.
02:58It's going to be amazing.
02:59Yeah.
03:00Yeah.
03:01Yeah.
03:02Yeah.
03:03Yeah.
