FIVE will embark on a huge comeback tour after 25 years apart, The Sun can reveal.
All five members of the British boyband, made up of Abz Love, J Brown, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson and Sean Conlon are on board for the reunion after they split back in September 2001.

They will hit the road for 12 huge arena dates on the Keep On Movin’ 2025 Tour – starting in Brighton on 31 October.
Insiders told The Sun the tour would see the group performing their biggest hits including If Ya Getting’ Down, Everybody Get Up, Let’s Dance and When The Lights Go Out.
Singer Naughty Boy is booked as the warm-up act for all 12 shows. A source told The Sun: “No one thought they’d see the day that Abz, J, Ritchie, Scott and Sean would reunite.
“But after 25 years the time felt right and they couldn’t be more excited to be back together.”
Confirming the news, Scott said: “This has been a long time coming and it really does feel right for all of us now – 25 years on and we’re so ready for it.
“Reconnecting as a five over the last year has been special and I know I speak for all the boys when I say we can’t wait to do this all over again.”
Abz added: “We really can’t wait to get back on stage together and see the fans, it’s going to go off.”
Speculation about all five of the group coming back together went into overdrive earlier this week when Abz confirmed he had rejoined the group.
He shared the tweet he used to announce his exit from Five back in 2014 and wrote above it: “As of today I am once again a member of Five.
“Thank you to all the fans who support us, I love you all.” The group also used their social media accounts to tease the announcement.
Five split on 27 September 2001 but have reunited several times over the years.
In 2006 they performed without Sean briefly, and then in 2012 tried again – this time with Sean but without J.
Most recently Sean, Ritchie and Scott, performed together as a trio. During their career they sold over 20 million records, landing 11 Top Ten 10 hits, including three No1s, and four Top Ten albums including their debut self-titled record which went straight to the top of the UK charts.
Their debut single, Slam Dunk Da Funk, peaked at No10 in the charts but the follow up, When The Lights Go Out, propelled them to stardom in the UK and US.
Tickets to Five’s Keep On Movin’ 2025 Tour go on general sale on Friday, 7 March at 10am via www.itsfiveoffical.com.

The Gossip Girl star was said to have undergone a liver transplant in the months before she was found dead in her New York City apartment on Wednesday.
Michelle, 39, was found unresponsive by her mom in her apartment on Wednesday morning, cops have said.
Reports claim that she underwent a liver transplant last year and was believed to have been experiencing complications from it.
Her body may have even rejected the new liver, TMZ reported citing law enforcement sources.
And now Michelle’s close friend Amanda, who is based in Los Angeles, has revealed how the Gossip Girl actress spoke to her expressed how she knew death was a possibility.
Sharing a moving tribute to Michelle, Amanda took to Instagram to post a throwback photo of the late star.
She penned: “Sweetheart Michelle. What sad news this morning to wake up to.
“It feels weird and awful to be posting this, but I want to acknowledge your death because I cared about you.”
Amanda continued: “I will always remember you as the young vivacious woman I met when I took this photo of you …
“Seeing your face from the hospital bed when we FaceTimed recently, even though you did not look like you, your sweetness and humor were still alive.”
SHARED AND THEN-EDITED DETAILS
“I will not share the details of our conversations over the last 6 months.
“But you knew that death was a high possibility,” she originally wrote, but later deleted the last couple of sentences and edited the original caption.
Amanda concluded: “I am only sorry that the outcome was not a better one.
“Wishing you a peaceful transition sweet friend and may your spirit finally rest.”
Fans of Amanda and Michelle were quick to comment on the tribute, with one person writing: “I’m sorry for your loss and i admire you for keeping her private life private.”
Tributes to Michelle Trachtenberg
Friends and former co-stars of Trachtenberg’s were quick to post tributes on social media honoring the actress.
David Boreanaz, who starred alongside Trachtenberg in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, posted a photo of the actress on his Instagram story, commenting, “So very sad…horrible news. RIP and prayers to her and her family.”
Trachtenberg’s Gossip Girl co-star Ed Westwick posted a photo on his Instagram story of the actress when she played Georgina Sparks. He wrote, “So sad to hear of the passing of Michelle Trachtenberg. Sending prayers.”
Kim Cattrall, who starred alongside Trachtenberg in 2005 film Ice Princess, wrote, “Rest in peace sweet Michelle.”
Rosie O’Donnell, who acted with Trachtenberg in Harriet the Spy, also said the news was “heartbreaking.”
“I loved her very much. She struggled the last few years. I wish I could have helped,” she said, according to People.
James Marsters, another co-star on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, posted on Instagram to honor the late actress. “My heart is heavy today,” he wrote.
“We have lost a beautiful soul. Michelle was fiercely intelligent, howlingly funny, and a very talented person. She died much too young, and leaves behind scores of people who knew and loved her.”
Fellow Nickelodeon star Kenan Thompson posted a farewell message to the actress and reminded others to check in on their friends.
“Our first Nick movie star has departed us!! She was my friend and now she rests!! Check on your people!!!” he wrote.
Melissa Joan Hart, Trachtenberg’s Clarissa Explains it All co-star, said she was “heartbroken” over her death alongside a clip of the show.
“I’m heartbroken to hear of the passing of @michelletrachtenberg,” she said.“So young, so talented and so sweet!”
“I think this was about 1992 and the episode was an idea I had about babysitting a total nightmare. But Michelle was nothing like her character and even this young, we got along wonderfully.”
Another added: “Sorry for your loss. It is so nice to know that you were there for her during the last months of her life.”
While a third wrote: “Thank you for posting this. I’m glad she had good people around her who cared & were there for her. Prayers for you & all her loved ones.”
And a fourth penned: “Beautiful tribute. I’m very sorry that you lost your friend. May she rest in peace.”
While a fifth added: “The original caption was unusual, the edit was wise.”
The It Ends With Us actress shared a snap of herself with Michelle from the their Gossip Girl days and described the late star as having an “electric” personality.
She then penned: “Everything she did, she did 200%. She laughed the fullest at someone’s joke, she faced authority head on when she felt something was wrong, she cared deeply about her work, she was proud to be a part of this community and industry as painful as it could be sometimes, she was fiercely loyal to her friends and brave for those she loved, she was big and bold and distinctly herself.
“Time passes. You take for granted that you get the chance to see an old friend. To paraphrase, the real tragedies in life are the ones that blindside you on an idle Tuesday. Hold those you love and have loved dear.”
She added: “The world lost a deeply sensitive and good person in Michelle. May her work and her huge heart be remembered by those who were lucky enough to experience her fire.”
Chace Crawford is another Gossip Girl co-star who has paid tribute to Michelle, with him writing: “Michelle was one of a kind.
“I remember her coming on set for the first time and just absolutely owning it. She was a force of nature and just so so unapologetically funny and magnetic…remembering those years with a big smile.

Met Eireann forecaster Linda Hughes explained that the meteorological winter will settle as we move into spring.

Hughes said: “Today will be mainly dry with plenty of sunshine and just a few passing light showers.
“Highest temperatures of 7C to 10C with light west to northwest winds.
“Frost and some icy patches will form again as temperatures fall to between -2C and 2C. Patches of mist and fog will develop, too, in light and variable winds.

2 weeks agoBlogsComments Off on Secret Jeffrey Epstein docs to be released TODAY on vile abuse & ‘contents will make you sick’, US Attorney General says
FLIGHT logs and “a lot of names” related to Jeffrey Epstein are set to be released today, the US Justice Department has revealed.
Attorney General Pam Bondi warned the contents of the secret files “will make you sick” as she made the bombshell announcement.
Jeffrey Epstein poses for a sex offender mugshot in 2017APEpstein with disgraced socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, who was jailed in 2022The Mega AgencyEpstein beside one of his jetsThe Mega Agency
Bondi told Fox News: “Breaking news right now, you’re going to see some Epstein information being released by my office.
“This will make you sick. 200 victims. 200. So we have well over 250 actually.
“So we have to make sure that their identity is protected and their personal information.”
Bondi revealed last week the documents were sitting on her desk to be reviewed.
She said her department was working on protecting the personal information of over 250 victims connected to Epstein, who took his own life in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges.
When asked whether the documents would reveal details on individuals who used Epstein’s private jet, Bondi confirmed flight logs would be shared.
She told Jesse Waters: “What you’re going to see, hopefully tomorrow, is a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot, a lot of information.
“But, it’s pretty sick what that man did. Along with his co-defendant.”
Bondi hinted at information on Ghislaine Maxwell as she referenced Epstein’s “co-defendant”.
Disgraced socialite Maxwell – who was jailed for 20 years in 2022 for sex trafficking – reportedly had a “little black book” of names.
Redacted versions of the “book” and flight logs from Epstein’s “Lolita Express” jet had been leaked online or unsealed previously.
Complete versions have never been made public.
It comes amid growing pressure from lawmakers on the attorney general to release the alleged “client list”.
Donald Trump expressed interest in releasing information about Epstein’s case while campaigning for his second term in the White House.
Bondi said last night the latest release comes after a “directive by President Trump”.
Vile Epstein socialised with Wall Street titans, royalty and celebrities until his death in 2019 at the age of 66.
One of the most high-profile people associated with Epstein was Prince Andrew.
He was forced to step aside from public duties in 2019 over his friendship with the paedo financier.
Andrew has always denied any accusations of wrongdoing.
It comes after a trove of records from Epstein victim Virginia Guiffre’s 2015 defamation case against Maxwell was released last year.
But the documents exposed shed little light on the nature of their relationships with Epstein.

“We always miss stuff like this!”
“Brilliant find,” someone else gushed.
“This is the softest bedding ever,” another wrote.

“Was waking up freezing!”
“Fab haul, I never seem to be in the right place at the right time,” another sighed.
“Great finds, well done,” someone else praised.
