Blue: We'll keep making music

Blue have vowed to carry on, despite rumours they have been dropped by their record label.

The quartet – Antony Costa, Duncan James, Lee Ryan and Simon Webbe – said they will continue making music and touring, amidst claims they have parted ways with Sony, less than a year after they were signed.

It’s hard to believe but after fourteen years …

The group, who are best known for hits such as All Rise, One Love and Too Close and are about to embark on a world tour, wrote a letter to their fans on Facebook.

They said: “It’s hard to believe but after fourteen years, five studio albums, sixteen million sold albums and over 40 #1′s worldwide we still love doing what we do. The feeling doesn’t get any better. This is what we do and we couldn’t do it without you.

“We have worked with some incredible producers, from the Stargate team ten years ago, to Red One on the Roulette album and Brian Rawling on Colours. We have been around long enough to be able to choose who we want to work with and long may that continue…”

They added: “We don’t need to prove who we are, or ask permission to be here. We love Sony Music who have supported us and licensed the album for the UK and supported us on tour and we look forward to the rest of this year and the next as we move into ‘Fifteen Years of Blue’.”

Blue – who represented the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2011 and appeared on ITV2′s The Big Reunion in 2013 – released their fifth album, Colours, in March. It reached the 13th spot in the UK charts.

The band’s spokesman told the Daily Mirror: “Blue and Sony remain on good terms. After the boys finish on their sell-out tour they will be back in the recording studio.

“The best friends will continue to do what they love and fans can be assured that there will be more music from the band next year. 2016 will see Blue celebrating fifteen years together.”
