About Blue

Formed in 2000, Blue – comprising Simon Webbe, Antony Costa, Duncan James, and Lee Ryan – burst onto the UK music scene with an infectious blend of R&B-infused pop. Their debut single, “All Rise,” released in 2001, was an instant smash, topping the charts and setting the tone for their meteoric rise. This was swiftly followed by their debut album of the same name, which also claimed the number one spot, cementing their status as pop sensations. Throughout the early 2000s, Blue dominated the airwaves and music television, consistently delivering hit after hit. Their discography is a treasure trove of memorable tracks, including the incredibly successful “Too Close” and the heartfelt ballad “If You Come Back.” Their ability to craft infectious melodies, coupled with their undeniable stage chemistry and individual vocal talents, resonated deeply with a generation.

Beyond their initial domestic success, Blue also achieved international acclaim, particularly in Asia and parts of Europe. Their cover version of Stevie Wonder’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours” further showcased their versatility and respectful nod to musical legends. The band’s self-titled third album, released in 2003, continued their chart dominance, featuring fan favourites like “Breathe Easy.” After a hiatus, during which members pursued solo projects and other ventures, Blue reunited in 2011, demonstrating their enduring appeal and commitment to their music. They have since embarked on successful tours and released new material, proving that their synergy and passion for performing remain as strong as ever. This longevity is a testament to their talent, their connection with fans, and the timeless quality of their music, which continues to bring joy and evoke cherished memories for many.
