Five had an unexpected message waiting in their inbox when they announced their reunion tour, and it came from a very famous fan.

The group, comprising Abz Love, J Brown, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson, and Sean Conlon, confirmed in February that they would be getting back together. Their arena run begins at the Utilita Arena in Cardiff on October 29.

Not long after the news, the band was shocked to see a direct message from model and actress Cara Delevingne, who revealed that she has always been a massive fan. Cara, who loves tracks like Keep On Movin', Everybody Get Up, and Slam Dunk, has now been invited to attend one of their shows.

Abz told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column, “Cara Delevingne is a fan. She reached out to us. We’re going to get her to a show. It doesn’t get better than that.”

As exciting as Cara’s message was, the band also had the chance to spend time with another huge name in music when they unexpectedly performed with Robbie Williams.

Scott explained, “Performing with Robbie Williams in June was unexpected. You don’t say no when he asks you to come on and sing Keep On Movin’. We heard some of his new songs live in the dressing room, too. He was singing them in his dressing room before the show.”

What began as a tour of twelve sold-out shows quickly grew to twenty-five dates across the UK. From there, the band will head overseas for arenas in Australia and New Zealand. With the pace picking up, they admitted that relaunching Five has come with its own pressures.

Scott recalled, “The doubt started to creep in the night before. I phoned my wife Kerry and said, ‘What if no one cares?’. But we got the most amazing response. Then we sold out 12 shows, and now we’re doing 25. It’s overwhelming, in a good way.”

Sean added, “We were nervous about the industry as a whole. We were quite misunderstood back in the day because we were just lads. That was overwhelming.”
