It’s time to All Rise for Blue fans as the early 2000s pop group has revealed they will be reuniting for a new Greatest Hits Tour.
The announcement was made on Good Morning Britain (GMB) today (October 23).
Duncan James appeared in the ITV studio during the show, saying: "I have some great news, that won't leave you feeling Blue, because we are putting on a special tour. A greatest hits tour!"
The 45-year-old then played a video of his fellow bandmates, Antony Costa, Lee Ryan and Simon Webbe, who gave more details to fans as the band will be celebrating two decades of music.
As well as greatest hits, the tour will include stories, as Simon added: “Yes… we’ve got some stories” before giving his bandmates a cheeky look.
All rise, we’ve got an announcement! 🎶
