Myleene Klass breaks silence on Hear’Say reunion as she reveals why she isn’t joining bandmates for tour
MYLEENE Klass has finally spoken out on why she won’t be joining her fellow Hear’Say bandmates for their upcoming reunion tour.
The noughties band announced last week that they were returning for a tour to mark 25 years since their No.1 hit Pure & Simple.
However, fans quickly noticed that Myleene was missing from the line-up – as Kym Marsh, Suzanne Shaw, Noel Sullivan and Danny Foster were all promoting the reunion online while she remained silent.
Now, Myleene has revealed why she turned down the tour.
Talking on today’s Loose Women, the star explained: “They were really sweet and they did include me in the discussions but it’s not something I can commit to at the moment, I just really can’t.
“I know they are still figuring out a lot of the moving parts of it and until they do that, there’s nothing set in stone. For me, I’m just super busy.
“I’m committed to you guys. I’ve got my work. I love the guys dearly, it was an incredibly important time in my life. It taught me so much, epic songs and moments like that.”
Myleene isn’t totally against the idea of ever joining her bandmates, she admitted.
When quizzed by her fellow Loose Women, Myleene said: “I would say never say never about anything.
“Because, I don’t really agree about revisiting the past but then people say to me, like, ‘you went back in the jungle’ and I went back and had another bob! So, I’m a walking contradiction in that sense!
“Like I said, until there are things set in stone it’s very difficult to commit to something that is so up in the air. I think they are figuring things out as well, but I really do appreciate that they included me in the initial discussions.”
Hear’Say formed on ITV reality television show Popstars and debuted in 2001, splitting the following year.
The band set tongues wagging last week as they reignited an Instagram page to tease their tour.
They posted a screen recording of a WhatsApp conversation between them, with Danny writing: “Wow . . . can you believe the response to that tour clip we posted?!”, referencing a video they had shared of an old performance. Suzanne replied: “I know right, amazing! Ahhh the memories . . . can you believe it was 25 years ago?!”
Noel said: “OK, so hear me out . . . ” Kym urged: “Go on,” before Noel added: “Fancy getting the band back together?”
The post came exactly 24 years after Hear’Say split, with the band disbanding on 1 October 2002.
