‘I never thought I’d be doing this at 40’: 5ive’s Scott Robinson on ‘selfish’ bands and teenage fans
Nostalgia is big business. The Spice Girls have sold out a reunion stadium tour, we can’t stop asking for a Friends reunion and Ariana Grande brought out NSYNC at5ive, A1, Damage and 911 are embarking on a 30-date tour in February and March 2020, to bring us hits like If Ya Gettin’ Down, Take On Me, Ghetto Romance and Bodyshakin’.Scott Robinson of 5ive spoke to Metro.co.uk after the tour announcement, and was keen to stress that he, Ritchie Neville and Sean Conlon are still going strong.
The 39-year-old told us: ‘It’s not that weird because the way I see it, we want to be in the band. Jay and Abz don’t want to be in the band, and that’s their choice.’ After gaining hits with Got The Feelin’, Keep On Movin’, Everybody Get Up, If Ya Gettin’ Down and We Will Rock You, the group split up in 2001, after the departure of Sean several months earlier.
‘I won’t name names, but there’s some bands that get back together, and sing one of the hits, and then say “and here’s a new one”, and the mood goes right down in the place. It’s a bit selfish. And we’re doing this for the fans, so the music and the performances are for the fans.
