LEEDS singer Sean Conlon today opened his heart on his decision to turn his back on a Five pop comeback.
The 25-year-old revealed he has decided to concentrate on a solo career but was quick to wish his former bandmates all the best as they prepare to launch a second bid for fame.
The group split five years ago after selling 20 million records worldwide and having had 11 top ten singles.
They had number one hits with Keep On Movin', We Will Rock You and Let's Dance. Sean, from Horsforth, Leeds, said: "I was approached to get involved, which was appreciated, but I declined. I decided I wanted to focus on my solo career. It is what I have working towards since Five broke up.
"I didn't see reforming as a step forward. I respect their decision but on a personal level it wasn't for me."
The former Menston St Mary's pupil said he had been in contact with former bandmates to pass on his best wishes.
"I have spoken to Scott (Robinson) to say good luck. They all fully understand it's not for me anymore and I can't go back.
"I have wished them well and all the best for the future."
Sean said he was currently putting together a solo album, which he hoped would be released sometime next year, and was in the process of signing a record deal.
"I haven't put pen to paper yet but I'm hoping to sign something in the coming weeks," said Sean, speaking from a recording studio in Poland where he is working on new material.
Sean added: "I'm living in London at the moment because that's where the music industry is but Leeds will always be my true home.
Humour
"I miss the northern sense of humour, the banter and the friendliness of people." The newly-reformed Five, who will continue as a foursome, say their new music will be "cooler" than it used to be and they are ditching their dance routines.
Group member Ritchie Neville added: "We're not clutching at straws. We don't need the money. We're going to be back bigger than ever.
"Take That went out and obviously made a lot of money touring, but we wanted to do it the other way around – start afresh and write an album."
Five singer J Brown insists there is no cynical motive behind the decision to get his former boyband back together.
Believe me this isn't about money, not at all. We've all got our houses and our cars and are comfortable, he says.
We decided to get back together because we thought, Why not? We hadn't made music together for five years and the time felt right.
Five star J says he has enjoyed the last few years of his life away from the spotlight.
We had a brilliant time when we were in the charts. But it all got a bit crazy and you start to forget who you are, he says.
So I spent the last five years lying on the beach in India, reading books, chilling out and generally just getting my head back together.
At the moment there are no plans to take Five on the road, says J.
We're not out to con the fans or anything like that. We won't just book a tour and trot out the old stuff, he says.
The first thing we're going to do is get into the studio and start working on a new album. If we're really proud of what we put together then we'll release it and tour it.
Ali G sounding Five star Abs Breen says he's kept himself busy in the years since Five last bothered the charts.
I guess you could say I've just been busy partying in nightclubs, drinking and all the other stuff that goes with it. I've been having a brilliant time, he says.
I reckon it's my job to get the rest of the lads back into party mode again. To show them how to have fun.
Five star Ritchie Neville admits the years out of the spotlight haven't been easy.
At times I've been bordering on being an alcoholic. But I've got myself together and got fit again, he says.
I've been up there, down there and I've been all around, you know five years is a long time to be away. But I'm really glad we're back together - but this time we're all angry.
First time round Five were famous for their energetic dance routines, but singer J says that leaping about is a thing of the past.
Contrary to some lovely tabloid rumours we haven't been holed up in some room somewhere practising dance routines, he says.
There'll be a lot less of all that this time. Our sound is going to be a lot more edgy.
Ritchie says Five's new sound will reflect the fact that the band have grown up.
You know, we're all men now so it feels right that our music should reflect that, he says.
We've been working with Guy Chambers, who needs no introduction, and that's been going really well. We've also found some DJs and producers from Paris and they're super cool.
Five's J is philosophical about the relaunch of the band.
We're going to give it our all and if we like what we do and it goes well then we'll be really chuffed and we'll carry on, he says.
But if it doesn't work out then so be it. We'll just have to see what the public makes of us and our sound. We just want to write new music and have fun.
Here's what we are going to do: Anyone can send us a little graphic (see rules below) that we will attach all together for one big long birthday card for Scott. I will print it and give it to him.
Rules: 1. size 51 x 51 mm or 2 x 2 inches. DPI should be at least 72 not more than 300. pixel size doesnt matter since we are printing it. 2. no website addresses, personal email addresses etc on your graphic. Names are OK & other text. No naughty pix or graphics 3. format: GIF, BMP, JPG, PNG. no animation or flash 4. send to worldoffive@... SUBJECT: Scott birthday 5. its about Scott's birthday... so if it isn't, we won't use it 6. send it to us by 10 November midnight London time 7. YOU MAY ONLY SEND ONE and I will not replace one you have already sent if you make a better one later
I CAN BELIEVE IT , THEY'RE BACK
AGAAAAAAIIIIINNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
THANKS FOR ALL FANS FRIENDS.

How are all of you? It's great to be back and even greater to see all the fans that are back with us. Stay tuned coz we plan on giving you some massive tunes next year. We're older, wiser but still full of music and this time, we have more of a say. We have new management & new people around us that really know what they're doing. It's gonna be GOOD.
To answer some of your questions that have been coming through to us: there are four of us now, which was basically the case in 2001 when we split. Sean is doing his own music and we support his decision to continue with it, as he supports ours. We are still best of mates.
We got back together because we wanted to. It was our decision 100%. No one paid us, we don't need the money, we didn't miss the fame. It's about making MUSIC and giving back to our fans. Simple. We feel we still have alot to offer and we have unfinished business!
We're working our arses off for the next few months on new music with some top producers and some wild new ones. Can't say when the first release will be but probably sometime early next year. We'll be here though, so keep checking back here. We'll be asking for fan input on some important decisions we'll be making... your voice will be heard!
Also, check out our brand new official website at: www.WorldofFive.com, join the message board there and we'll make it worth your while. New stuff will be coming all the time to the website so check back often.
Love 'ya all and we haven't forgotten all the fans outside the UK. We would love to take ourselves worldwide again and hope that we can soon. The future is open, bright and we're ready.
Cambridge PR company Quite Great has hit the high spot again, this time with one of the most successful pop bands of the decade, Five, which has just announced its comeback.
Quite Great orchestrated the re-launch at a press conference in London, exactly five years to the day since the band split due to the pressure of success.
The band sold 20 million records worldwide during its first years together, and hopes to repeat this spectacular performance.
Quite Great, which has a niche in the pop world as well as providing local firms with PR services, also organised a unique texting service called Flirtomatic.com enabling thousands of fans to receive news of the band's re-formation and lifting Five to the top of the Flirtomatic.comcharts.
They're not, but it's what they told a room full of journos as they announced their return to pop…
Man band, '5ive', have announced they are officially back together and ready to sell as many records as the did in their heyday.
The foursome – J, Abs, Scott and Richie – kicked off their press conference by joking, "We are here to tell everyone in this room that we are officially gay."
They soon got on to serious business however, and announced they'd been working with top (former Robbie Williams) tunesmith, Guy Chambers.
"We've already written one amazing track with him and we're going into the studio to do more," said Scott. "I can't say too much, but the tracks are going to be rocking."
The lads denied they're jumping on the manbandwagon, as kicked off by Take That's and followed up by Upper Street ("Who? I don't know them but I wish them luck," commented J) - or that they're getting back together to make a quick buck.
"The big difference is that we want to get new material out there. We sold 20 million albums back in the day and we want to do that again," said Scott.
J chipped in, "We've all got enough money. We don't need to be doing this, we want to do it."
And contrary to tabloid reports, their comeback is not being financed by a fat cat record label boss.
"We haven't got a record deal; we're funding everything ourselves and are doing everything at our pace," said Richie. "When and if we feel ready to tour that's when we'll get on the road."
For now the boys are just excited about making sweet music together again. "We love the rockier direction music's gone in lately," said Rich. "We didn't do candy pop before and you can guarentee we won't be doing that now."
And while times might have changed it's nice to see the lads are still rocking that trusty boyband staple, the Timbaland boot...
Five enjoyed massive success with a hip hop-inspired sound
Chart-topping boy band Five have announced a comeback five years after they split.
The line-up will be just four - Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson, Abs Breen and Jason "J" Brown - with former bandmate Sean Conlon focusing on a solo career.
Robinson said that would not prompt a name change, adding: "Five's a brand not a number."
The group, who sold 20 million records worldwide between 1997 and 2001, are working on a new self-funded album.
The record is a collaboration with Robbie Williams' former song writing partner Guy Chambers.
"I just hope everybody is going to want to hear our stuff and see what we are doing now," Brown told BBC Radio 1's Newsbeat.
"Five years later it's going to be a little bit different - not kind of arms in the air - but we are still a full-on pop band, and we are really looking forward to it."
'Bigger than ever'
Five had 11 top 10 singles in the UK, including the number ones Keep On Movin', We Will Rock You and Let's Dance.
Neville said: "We're not clutching at straws. We don't need the money. We're going to be back bigger than ever."
"We're just coming back because why shouldn't we have another crack at the madness?" Brown added.
Five's members were hand-picked from 3,000 hopefuls at an audition set up by the creators of the Spice Girls.
They announced their split in 2001 live on music channel MTV, saying they could "no longer do justice" to their fans or to each other.
Five have now made their announcement that they are back as a 4some. Ritchie, Abz, J and Scott revealed they will be releasing an album AND are planning a tour next year. They have collaborated with Guy Chambers and French underground DJs, Trak Invaders, just to name a few!
Brank spankin' new pictures have also been posted at the official website, World of Five under the Gallery section. Go check them out!

The four reunited members of British boyband FIVE have hit out at claims they only regrouped for the money.

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.

As you know, it is the 5ive (or 4our) press conference in London on Wednesday, and their 'people' are offering Popjustice readers the chance to be there.
We've got ten (or 10EN) pairs of tickets to give away. The tickets will get you into the press conference, and apparently there will be a meet and greet afterwards although we suppose this isn't compulsory.

"In light of the tragic incident at the Scala nightclub in the early hours of yesterday and out of respect for the victims' family, Five have moved the location of their press conference this Wednesday morning. Five were due to make an announcement to media & fans at 11am in the venue and obviously due to the on-going police investigation, this will now not be possible. The band and their management are currently searching for a suitable alternative location."
CHECK BACK FOR UPDATES ON http://www.myspace.com/WorldOfFive ON WHERE & WHEN THE PRESS CONFERENCE WILL BE. TO ALL FANS: WE ARE TRULY SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY CAUSE BUT THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.
Former chart-toppers Five are planning to make a comeback - as a foursome.
Scott Robinson, Ritchie Neville, Jason "J" Brown and Richard "Abs" Breen hope to follow in the footsteps of Take That and East 17 by reuniting for fans. Fifth member Sean Conlon will not be participating as he has already been offered a solo deal.
A source told The Sun: "Ritchie, Abs, Scott and J have kept in touch since the band decided to call it a day in 2001. After watching Take That and East 17 being rejuvenated, they began to consider a comeback.
"A few of the lads were still in touch with record label contacts who said now was the right time to do it."
Five were best known for their hits Slam Dunk (Da Funk), Let's Dance and Everybody Get Up.
Five are going to hit the comeback trail, but there are only going to be four of them, coz Sean's got a solo deal.
The Sun's source says: "Ritchie, Abs, Scott and J have kept in touch since the band decided to call it a day in 2001. After watching Take That and East 17 being rejuvenated, they began to consider a comeback. A few of the lads were still in touch with record label contacts who said now was the right time to do it. A lot of work has gone on behind the scenes and they are ready for a fully fledged comeback."
The comeback is apparently going to be officially anounced exactly five years after they announced they were quitting.
