In 1998, Five earned their first major international hit, " When the Lights Go Out", which cracked the U.S. in 1998 but had little chart success, reaching number 86 on the Billboard Hot 100, although it was chosen as the NBA's new theme song. In November 1997, Five released their debut single " Slam Dunk (Da Funk)", which debuted at number 10 in the UK Singles Chart. Five practiced and demoed their work at Trinity Studios in Knaphill – the same place the Spice Girls did a few years previously. The group were subsequently signed by Simon Cowell and BMG/ RCA for a six-album deal. Baker made it into the band originally, but doubt was cast over his rapping style as his North East accent came through. Cheshire and Taylor were later cut when the final five were chosen in May 1997 and Hershon could not attend the final selection. Because his first name was Richard, Breen created the nickname 'Abs' (from his middle name, "Abidin") to avoid confusion with Neville (born Richard Neville Dobson). The auditions resulted in a provisional casting of nine members: Richard Breen (now better known as Abz Love), Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson, Sean Conlon, Jason "J" Brown, and stand-by members Peter Cheshire, Paul Taylor, Anthony Baker (rapper) and Ric Hershon. They were finally narrowed down to only 14, five of whom had arranged themselves into a group while waiting for their audition. Over 3,000 hopefuls auditioned, including Russell Brand, who performed Extreme's song More Than Words for the judges.
Bob and Chris Herbert, the two men who had earlier created the Spice Girls, thought the time was right for a male group. In 1997, an advertisement was placed in the UK performing arts newspaper The Stage, asking for young male singers/dancers to audition for a boy band-style group with "attitude and edge". 1.5 2012–2021: Second reunion and Love's departureĬareer 1997–1998: Formation and 5ive.1.3 2001: Kingsize, Conlon's departure and split.In December 2021, Five officially announced a release date of 28 January 2022 for their long-awaited fourth album Time.

In November and December 2013, Five headlined their own tour, the 5ive Greatest Hits Tour, their first solo tour as a four-piece. This was followed by a comeback performance at the Hammersmith Apollo on 26 February 2013 and an arena tour around the UK and Ireland in May, which was their first ever tour without Brown.
#TAKE FIVE BAND SERIES#
Alongside Blue, 911, Atomic Kitten, B*Witched, Honeyz and Liberty X, Five were featured in the ITV2 documentary series The Big Reunion, which began airing on 31 January 2013. The group continued with only four members, but decided to keep the name Five. Lead singer Brown initially agreed to take part in the reunion, but later changed his mind, claiming that he no longer wanted to be in the public eye. In 2012, the group announced that they were planning another reunion, this time with Conlon on board. Eight months later, having secured a lucrative tour but failing to gain enough record company interest, Five made an announcement via their official website that they would again disband. Robinson, Love, Neville, and Brown briefly reformed the group without Conlon (who departed before their 2001 split) in September 2006, with a new management team headed by music manager Richard Beck. The group sold around 20 million copies worldwide. Five enjoyed moderate success worldwide, particularly in their native United Kingdom, as well as most of the rest of Europe and Asia.Īccording to the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), Five has been certified for 1.6 million albums and 2.8 million singles in the UK.
