The ‘bad boy’ antidote to clean-cut Take That. Their 1994 single Stay Another Day remains one of the biggest hits of all time. They continue to play, minus founding members Brian Harvey and Tony Mortimer.

ETERNAL

Put together in 1992 with sisters Easther and Vernie Bennett, Kelle Bryan and Louise Nurding (now Redknapp), Eternal sold ten million records worldwide. They split in 2000 but reformed in 2013 (minus Redknapp) and are still performing today.

911

The pop pin-ups formed in 1995 and went on to have ten UK topten singles and sold six million albums worldwide. They split in 2000, then reunited in 2005 and continue to play live.

ALL SAINTS

Melanie Blatt, Shaznay Lewis and sisters Nicole and Natalie Appleton were one of the only non-‘put together’ bands at the time. The group split in 2001, then reunited in 2014. Last year their album Red Flag went to No.3 in the UK album charts.
