Blue

Blue is a British pop group that gained prominence in the early 2000s. The boy band was formed in 2000 and originally consisted of four vocalist members Lee Ryan (b. 1983), Simon Webbe (b. 1978), Duncan James (b. 1978), and Antony Costa (b. 1981).

Blue achieved success with their debut album, All Rise, released in 2001. The album featured hit singles like All Rise, Too Close and If You Come Back. Their sound blended pop, R&B, and dance elements, and their polished harmonies contributed to their popularity.

The group continued to release several albums, including One Love (2002), Guilty (2003), and come-back album Roulette (2013). Among their hit singles are Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word (a collaboration with Elton John), Breathe Easy, Bubblin' and Curtain Falls.

Blue also represented the United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2011 with the song I Can, finishing in 11th place. The group has undergone some line-up changes over the years, and they occasionally reunite for performances and new projects. Each member has also pursued individual endeavours in music, acting, and other fields. A tour is scheduled for 2024.
