We’ve had such an incredible legacy and it’s really important that we don’t fizzle out. That shows when we’re on stage and interacting with each other the audience love to see that and feel part of it.įaye: Steps is our baby, and we become more loyal and passionate about it as the years have gone on. It means that, when you come to work, you’re having a great time. We have so much fun, and the fact it’s still the five of us – the original line-up – and we do genuinely get on. When you love what you do, it doesn’t really feel like work. You've seen a lot of bands come and go over the years. It’s a great time to be alive in the music industry.

A greatest hits album including their smash singles, brand new tracks and previously-unreleased remixes, the record will be released on August 19. Today, Steps announce the release of Platinum Collection. Yet here we are, a quarter of a century later, celebrating UK pop royalty's 25th anniversary the group having gone on to score three Number 1 albums, 14 Top 10 singles and bagging a BRIT Award along the way. It would have been all too easy to write off Steps - a group formed with the brief of becoming ' ABBA on speed' - as one-hit wonders destined for the Our Price bargain bin forever more. On NovemLisa Scott-Lee, Faye Tozer, Ian 'H' Watkins, Lee Latchford-Evans and Claire Richards burst onto the pop scene with their utterly bonkers, techno-pop-meets-country classic 5, 6, 7, 8.
