In 1998, British boyband Five sought a reprieve from their skyrocketing fame, opting to retreat to their shared house in Surrey instead of promoting in the US. Faced with overwhelmed fans and intense media scrutiny, band members grappled with mental health issues. Despite initial successes, internal conflicts led to a shaky future with member Sean Conlon leaving the group under difficult circumstances. The pressures of the pop industry, alongside a lack of support for mental health, significantly impacted their legacy and reunion prospects.
"We decided we wanted a couple of days off... We were losing our minds. But all I had was people shouting through the letterbox at me for three days."
"Of all the returning bands from pop's Y2K zenith, Five seemed the least likely to reform with their original lineup due to intense pressures and mental health struggles."
