Information AboutAppleton (music Duo) |
Appleton is an English / Canadian musical duo comprising of sisters Natalie and Nicole Appleton . The sisters are perhaps best known as members of the Pop Music Girl Group All Saints . BIOGRAPHY Natalie and Nicole were born in 1973 and 1974 respectively to their British mother Mary and Canadian Jewish father, Ken. They also have two elder sisters, Lori and Leigh. Their parents divorced in the late 1970s, and so the sisters switched frequently between England, Canada, and the United States in New York. Both attended Ellenville High School in upstate New York. They stayed in Britain eventually, and became students at the Sylvia Young Theatre School in North London, which was to tutor their fellow All Saints colleague and Nic's schoolmate, Melanie Blatt as well as Denise Van Outen , Letitia Dean and Samantha Janus .

Soon after she left him due to Domestic Violence . More! Magazine, Issue 17 - 2000 The sisters were back in the UK in 1994, and, together with Shaznay Lewis , joined with former schoolmate Melanie Blatt to form All Saints . The group signed a record deal with London Records in 1996, the year the Spice Girls came to prominence. (See the article about All Saints for more on their success). In 2000 both Nat & Nic appeared in the universally panned film '' Honest '', directed by ex- Eurythmics member Dave Stewart and featuring saucy nude scenes by both sisters. In 2001, All Saints disbanded acrimoniously. Natalie and Nicole formed the band Appleton. In their personal lives, Natalie got married to The Prodigy 's Liam Howlett that summer, and Nicole had her first son, Gene, with Liam Gallagher the frontman for Oasis in the autumn. The couple got engaged in late 2002.

Their autobiography "Together" came out in October 2002 . In 2003, they had two more hits with " Don't Worry " and " Everything Eventually " and the album, '' Everything's Eventual '' which went gold in the UK after just two months. They decided to sign a deal with Concept Music in late 2004 because of differences with their previous label, Polydor . Nicole has been presenting ' Hell's Kitchen ' on ITV and Natalie appeared on '' I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! '' in 2004. On January 24 2006 it was announced that All Saints had reformed with a new record contract and will be releasing a new album at the end of 2006.
