To think it's always the best ones that leave teen bands first?

[Owchyleg]

Zayn Malik
Robbie Williams
Geri Halliwell
Um...... Brian McFadden

Rehab i thought he left because his girlfriend dumped him and he was stressed by the breakup. I hope he gets all the help he needs, another good one lost to the world of glitzy fame, pah!

Just seen the headline that Jeremy Clarkson's been officially sacked!

Busted were fab. Mcbusted are even better. I can't keep up with who is in that group anymore but confess to seeing mcfly twice and getting slightly giddy when Tom waved to my teen and mouthed "thank you" at her. I was 44 at the time and right at the front. That was the first time I ever saw the vamps (my friends son is friends with one of them) who were support.

I cried when Robbie left take that. I saw him at hampden once. Amazing.

Owchy I bow to your superior Oasis knowledge

Poison Craig Login isn't with Kim any more. Mel sadly died of cancer. I remember reading an article about Craig and he said her death was the catalyst to leave Bros. He ended up owing the company money. I hope Zayn is more clued up in the business side.

Richey Edwards from the Manic Street Preachers

Ok not really a boy band....

Craig from Bros I loved him.

Boyzone split and Ronan went solo (as did most of the others but they didn't make it). I do not have most of their solo albums . Seen them live last year, made me feel like a teenager again.

Lidl are using this as a marketing tool. Reductions on 1D easter eggs.

Ooh o saw mcbusted last night with dd and friends. They were fab!

Roger Taylor left Duran first, didn't he?
I was fine with that, now if it had been JT there would have been snotters...

YY Roger left, i wasn't too fussed. He used to sit at the back and play drums.

Even though I was the biggest Durannie ever I never shed a tear over them, I wasn't that silly about them. I never screamed or anything either.

Hula was it good? If I was a teen now it would be Dougie all the way.

Shitebag you're right, it was Sean that left 5ive first! I stand by my comment about J being the best member though

Not sure if anyone officially left Nsync but let's face it, they couldn't have gone on without JT!

I thought Power Station was a sideline for Andy Taylor remember him? the one nobody fancied and John Taylor while both still very much with the Duranies and that Andy Taylor left the band first at a later date.

I have both their books but have only read Andy's so far and looked at the pictures in John's

"Ooh o saw mcbusted last night with dd and friends. They were fab!"

So did DD, at Sheffield Arena. She loved it.

This thread is making me feel old.

my yearning for a Zayn and Harry sandwich is just a pipe dream now!

Aren't 5ive down to 3ive?

I screamed when I went to see them during one of their tours.
In my defence, I was 14 and it was the first time my parents let me go with my friends to a concert.
Up till then it was all Gerry Rafferty and The Hollies en famille

... or did Andy leave the reformed band first? I must pay attention when I'm reading autobiographies.

DownTown, John's is a bit of a plodder. No revelations and really nice about everyone. Meh.

I loved JT. Loved him, properly. Still do a bit... but can't get past page 6 in his book

Couldn't get past the first couple of chapters of the JT book. Which is bad considering I have read some truly questionable shite in my time.

I cannot believe some of you are implying that Bros was a "boy band".

Matt Goss would be furious.

The 'fat dancer from Take That' (not a Liam Gallacher fan, but that was gold )

Ooh ooh Louise from Eternal??

I thought that Bros were a boy band. Incidentally I saw one of the Goss twins in Grease several years ago and he was really good.
