12/04/14: With hits like ‘Never Ever’, ‘Under The Bridge’ and ‘Pure Shores’, All Saints were one of the biggest girl bands of the nineties, but after reuniting for a brief comeback in 2009 they split up with Melanie Blatt saying: “All Saints are never getting back together again.
I never want to sing again.” But fast forward to 2014 and times have changed, the girls are fresh from a tour with the Backstreet Boys, the outfits are just as tight and the dance routines slicker than slick. Shaznay, Melanie and the Appleton sisters Natalie and Nicole rocked the stage at G-A-Y on Saturday night with a 40 minute set of their greats, and with 5 number 1 singles, 2 platinum albums and 2 gold albums they had plenty of material to choose from.
There was also a surprise announcement on Twitter that they will be touring later this year for ‘Another Time Another Place’ with Atomic Kitten, East 17 and others… The girls are hot and the 90s are back!
