ABOUT THE BAND

The band released their debut Single "All Rise" in May 2001 and it reached number 4 in the UK singles chart. Blue followed this in August with the chart-topping "Too Close", a Cover Version of Next 's US No 1 hit. Their second number one came in November with "If You Come Back". All three singles featured on debut album "All Rise", which was released in time for Christmas and reached number one, eventually selling in excess of 1,300,000 copies. Blue reached number six in March 2002 with their fourth single, ''Fly By II'' - a remix of album track "Fly By".

The band released a new single and Album , in the summer of 2002 , both called "''One Love''" which was the highest selling Blue album, selling more than three million copies. Their next single, which also reached number one on the British Top 40, was a duet with Elton John entitled "Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word", a cover version of one of John's songs. This track was number one in Europe for six weeks.

"''Guilty''" (the album and the single) was released in the fall of 2003 . The next singles were "Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I'm Yours" (sung with Stevie Wonder and Angie Stone ), "Breathe Easy", and "Bubblin'". The album ''Guilty'' sold more than 600,000 copies.

The band decided to split after Elton John suggested that their popularity was decreasing and that they should concentrate on their solo careers. They did so after releasing their ''Best Of Blue'' greatest hits compilation in 2004, which contained a few new tracks such as "Curtain Falls", "Get Down On It" and "Only Words I Know".

All four members have already released solo singles. Duncan released "I Believe My Heart" with Keedie in October 2004 , reaching #2 in the UK. Lee released "Army Of Lovers" in July 2005 , reaching #3. Simon released "Lay Your Hands" in August 2005 , reaching #4. Lee also released a self-titled solo album in August 2005 , reaching #6.
