Take That, they ain't: Five reform nonetheless
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver September 20th, 2006

Five (or 5ive, if you will) were massive only a few years ago, but beside 'Abs' I'll be damned if I can remember a single member of the boyband. Geoff? Darren? Didn't one of them go out with some actress or singer or something?

The news, as it is, anyway: Five are to reform. The five-piece all-boy poppers will make a press announcement proper on September 27 (five years since they broke up), but the news is that a UK tour is already planned.

Sound Generator reports that the band are "desperate to get back out there" and that they're "working hard on several new tracks for a hits release and a big UK tour next year".

Believe it or not, Five achieved eleven top ten singles in their time, and four of their albums also went top ten.
