The four reunited members of British boyband FIVE have hit out at claims they only regrouped for the money. Singers SCOTT ROBINSON, RITCHIE NEVILLE, JASON 'J' BROWN and RICHARD 'ABS' BREEN insist they genuinely feel they've still got something to offer the music industry, despite their increased ages. Brown says, "We're not getting back together because we're desperate. None of us are scraping by. We've all got nice cars and houses. We've got enough money in the bank and are financing this comeback ourselves." He adds, "People behave like you can do any music apart from pop until you die. Pop is for 19-year-olds. Rubbish. "We're seasoned veterans. We know how it works and know we can write a great new album. We're still a pop band." The band's fifth member SEAN CONLON, reported to have a solo record deal, will not be rejoining the group.
