East 17′s official website
EAST 17 has announced that – with immediate effect – Tony Mortimer is to take over lead vocal duties within the group. The band were recently re-united under the auspices of their principal (and Ivor Novello Award-winning) songwriter and then expanded to a four-piece with the addition of new recruit Blair Dreelan. However, due to his previous contractual issues, the group felt it necessary to part company with Dreelan. The band now consists of original members John Hendy, Terry Coldwell and Mortimer. They wish Blair all the best.
East 17 are one of the most celebrated and successful boy bands of all time, having achieved 18 Top Twenty hits (including House Of Love, Deep and Christmas No.1 Stay Another Day) as well as four Top Ten albums and sales of over twenty million records. They are currently putting the finishing touches to their first new album for over twelve years which is due for release on FOD Records next month. The album will be called Recharged and track titles include Counting Clouds, and the new single I Can’t Get You Out Of My MInd.
East 17 has just completed a succussful tour of the UK and are planning more dates for later in the year.
