In the BBC documentary Boybands Forever, Cowell cited Five as the band that “got away”, pointing to how close they became to breaking America before they called it a day.
Singer Abz Love has made the surprise announcement that he is rejoining the Nineties boyband Five amid rumours they are about to embark on a major reunion tour.
Formed in 1997, Five (or 5ive) were signed by Simon Cowell and BMG/RCA before releasing their debut single, “Slam Dunk (Da Funk)”, which peaked at No 10 on the UK singles chart.
Boyband Five have been teasing a potential reunion on social media following their appearance in the BBC documentary, ‘Boybands Forever’.
Back in 2014, Love wrote: “As of today I am no longer a member of @itsfiveofficial Thank you to all the fans who support us, I love you all.”.
