It's Heart90s Breakfast. I am honoured to say they are back in the studio which means the tour is happening and it starts so soon on Heart90s
0:14
Please welcome back the Mighty Five. Yeah! Thank you. Good morning boys. How are we all
0:19
We are absolutely rocking. We're excited. We're going on the road for the first time in 25 years
0:25
Yes sir. It's happening. we've had a good week this week because you know rehearsals
0:29
we were doing dance rehearsals then we went to like the studios where you start bringing the microphones in
0:34
and there was a moment where we were like oh there's so much to piece together
0:37
and we've pieced it all together this week and we feel ready and the band as in the musicians
0:42
even if we weren't there they would entertain they're a lot they're brilliant
0:46
sounding good oh yeah excellent and like amazing and like Celine Dion
0:50
it's all coming back to us now I'm so glad to hear that
0:54
thank you that's what you want to hear because you've just given me a lot of information and detail
0:58
because let me just pick up. When I last saw you, this had only just been announced
1:02
You'd only just got back into a room together. It was the first time interviewing you as all five
1:06
It was such a moment. Now we're months down the track. And first of all, I'm so happy to see that you're still together
1:12
and it's definitely happening. We've had no fallouts whatsoever. It's not one
1:16
It's good news, so I was going to ask. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. All is good
1:19
There have been a few name calling, you know, things like that, but all in good taste
1:24
But I don't think you're true friends if you can't, you know, chuck the odd name out there
1:28
I can't say it on the radio. No, no, you definitely can't say it. What I called Jay the other day, I cannot say it on the radio
1:33
I can't. You shriveled up past me. I'm still recovering from it, mate. I'm still recovering
1:37
He was living. Shut up, you turnip. Hang on, it's all happening now
1:43
What have I started? Just calm down a bit, Adam. I didn't mean this to kick off. I can't believe you just called me a turnip
1:48
There won't be any moments on stage, Sean, where it's like, oh, steady, boys. It's all going to be okay
1:52
Yeah, they probably will. I don't know. I mean, we do live a little bit on the edge
1:57
A bit of a spicy, don't we? Yeah, there's always a bit of a pressure. We do sort of have a go at each other in rehearsals
2:03
but when we were kids, we'd take that really personal, but there's an understanding that it's still done with some respect
2:11
Yes. It's like an encouraging belittlement. That's exactly what it is. I've worked that thing
2:18
That's what it is. You're not doing this move right. I've sought you out
2:22
Yeah, we've got high standards as well. We want it to be right. Yeah, we do, yeah
2:27
But I love the fact that you've got the relationship, surely, where you go, hang on, hang on, that isn't working
2:31
It's not right. Let's start again. Let's get this right. Because you've been there, done it
2:34
Too old. Yeah. Nobody's taken anything personal. Like, we might say, try this with that vocal, blah, blah, blah
2:41
Because when you're doing it, somebody from the outside, they can see something different, and that's the beauty of having five of us
2:46
We've got different perspectives, and somehow we just work it out, and I don't know, when you just come to an agreement
2:52
and it's right. I said to Absinthe Rehearsal the other day you going to learn that vocal because you not done it yet He went no man not learning He just went no I not He just went you do it You honest
3:06
I was going to ask, obviously, how are we doing with lyrics and remembering lyrics
3:10
How are we doing with lyrics, Jay? No, Jay. No, we're doing good
3:15
I had quite a revelation about three and a half weeks ago
3:21
because I'd just been putting it off and putting it off thinking, of course I know all the lyrics
3:24
and then I realised that I knew the lyrics to kind of Slam
3:29
and Everybody Get Up and then when I was listening to album tracks, I forgot I had
3:35
verses on them I won't reveal them but I actually forgot that I had verses
3:39
on them and some of them two verses and I was like oh, oh, oh no
3:43
and it suddenly got real and a little bit of blind panic ensued
3:47
and yeah there was a couple that I still hadn't swatted up on even until recently
3:53
two days ago he turns around to me in a rehearsal and he looks at me
3:59
blind back and he just went, no clue did we record this
4:04
when was it? he's smashing it now though smashing it now, that's all that counts
4:09
I'm going to be there in Cardiff with the big cards holding them up lyric for lyric
4:14
move, and stage left this is where you eat with your fingers Jack
4:19
I like it though, I know you can't say it I know you don't want to say too much about the set list
4:25
but I heard the phrase album track, so fans are going to love that for startups
4:30
That's great news. Yeah, we had a little moment where we had to decide
4:34
which ones we were all collectively happy with doing because there's a few on there we frowned upon
4:39
But I think we've got a good selection now. Yeah, I think the set's really... Well, I know the set's really working as a whole
4:45
the entirety of music. And, you know, obviously you can't please everyone
4:49
There'll be certain people, oh, I wish it was that song, that's my favourite one. but on the whole, I think we've got a really good..
4:54
And also we've got, like, you know, not to blow our own trumpet, but we do have three albums worth of that catalogue
5:01
a lot of which not all five of us have performed and stuff like that
5:05
So, you know, rather than doing a whole bunch of covers and filling in, we've got enough hits to make it entertaining
5:11
and then we've put our own songs in, so it's a five-fest. Yeah, because your catalogue is quite something
5:16
When I was just studying the albums and the bonus tracks that appeared and the different... I mean, it is quite a choice
5:21
It is quite a selection. But you're telling me, Sean, the big hits are in. 100%
5:26
I can guarantee Keep On Moving will be sound. Exclusive there for you, Kevin
5:32
Thank you so much. You are the first person to hear that. That's how much we like it
5:37
Groundbreaking front-page headline news there. The Keep On Moving tour will contain Keep On Moving
5:43
Hang on, what about Inspector Gadget? We discussed this. Yeah, well, you never know. You have to come and you'll see if we perform
5:49
Surprisingly, that was a contender as well. A lot of fans said they wanted to hear that one. And it still is
5:54
OK it could happen It could happen Might not though It might not happen It might not It could do It could do But maybe But it might not Maybe not
6:04
I'm just putting it out there. I'd like it. Don't come with your go-go gadget. Arms. Arms. Arms
6:09
That's it. The fans are so excited, Jay, to see you boys on that stage
6:13
I mean, you've had a summer now and a whole year of messages and feedback
6:18
And the sales have been great, obviously, for these dates. So, yeah, that must help with the process
6:24
No, as we said from the start of the whole thing, the reaction to it has been unbelievably mind-blowing for us
6:31
And it's given us the energy and the want to really genuinely
6:35
come with the biggest, best show we've ever put on. And we said from the beginning that we weren't pulling any punches on it
6:42
We were coming out, we were doing exactly what we do, but we're actually coming with it, I'd say, bigger and better
6:47
than we've ever done before. Wow. Because we legitimately want to put that show on for ourselves
6:53
and for people. And that ain't no sales pitch. Genuinely, that ain't no sales pitch
6:58
Collectively, we feel like this is the biggest, baddest we've ever been. It'll be the best show we've ever done
7:03
A hundred. Guaranteed. No doubt. And also, we're super united. We genuinely are looking out for each other
7:11
We all sort of, you know, like the greyhounds in the thing before they want to get out and run, chase the hair
7:17
That's how we feel. In February, when we announced and we were saying these things
7:22
they were we believed them but they were just sentences we were saying
7:25
like it's going to be the best show yes we're going to do the dance moves but now
7:29
we can confirm that wasn't a lie because we've been in rehearsals
7:33
we're less than a week away and we are doing all the dance routines
7:37
and it's amazing Rich I'm going to come out of that trap I'm going to tear up that hair
7:41
yeah yeah me too and we've got me hyped yeah well if you are hyped
7:45
and you're listening to this there are still some tickets left for Liverpool for Newcastle
7:51
for Leeds Glasgow and for Dublin. There's a few tickets left. The perception is that it's sold out
7:58
We have sold out, most of them, but there are a few left. The second dates that we added
8:03
are obviously still tickets there. So if you're listening to this or you're watching this thing again
8:08
I might go and see if I've... No, no, no, this is your last chance. Yes, it is. You've got to get this
8:12
And don't miss out on seeing five in 2021. Don't miss out. Well, you know, we're not getting any younger
8:18
Now it is. Come see us. And you're coming to the first show, right? If it's okay with you, in my home city of Cardiff
8:24
I would love to be at the first place. You've got to play double. But, you know, you can come
8:29
Can we have a word, please? I'm a good hype man. If you want me to make sure that you get some good hype
8:34
Give us a little sample of that, Keith. I'll do that afterwards. Can't compete with these boys
8:41
But I am genuinely excited for you. I'm genuinely hyped for you. What about the fitness aspect of this, Sean
8:46
Because we're talking dancing, choreo and moves. That would terrify me. I'm not
8:51
I'm not going to win the Olympics but I'm fairly fit because I did come in fit fighting fit and then literally after one day of rehearsals I not going to lie I couldn walk I literally could not move my body And I was like on the phone to her I was like
9:05
this is a bit harder than I thought. And she was like, you'll get used to it. Gradually, we did, actually
9:09
It's just different muscles. Mother's wisdom. Oh, yeah. I am in awe of you doing it
9:14
It's all going to work. It's all going to kick into place. Thank you. And then, look
9:18
it's an interesting time, because, you know, you've got, take that back in stadiums next year
9:22
I talked to my brother. I saw the boys the other day. and boys and it's a nice moment right now going on the amazing thing is like i think back in the
9:32
days 90s music and that era in particular of boy bands and things you know because you had like
9:37
indie bands out and sort of alternative bands out which i love as well don't get me wrong
9:41
but the perception was that that bands of us like us and boys and take that it wouldn't ever last
9:47
that people wouldn't come and see them 20 years later 25 years later but thankfully yeah the fans
9:53
are solid for this music they love the music they're still moved by it and the music still
9:58
means something years on which i'm very proud of you also didn't realize that that period of pop
10:03
music was a thing unto itself yeah that now when you look back you go oh yeah that's like an era
10:09
like when we looked at his music yeah yeah yeah the 90s nailed it really yeah and obviously i know
10:17
that i'm sure you'll get a lovely message from mr robbie williams wish you all the best yeah
10:21
because you've had a moment with him. We had a great moment with Robbie. That was lovely
10:27
For Robbie to reach out to us and say, you know, do you want to, you know, like we were going to say
10:31
no, do you want to come and sing a song? Yeah, we'll think about it. At the Emirates Stadium in front of 65,000 people
10:36
For your first time ever performing with each other in 25 years. Yeah, 65,000 people
10:41
He really has been incredible. And, you know, even now, like, you know, he'll still, you know, email and say, like, good luck
10:47
He's really championing us. And I think he understands, you know, Obviously, we sort of stepped away from entertainment for a long time
10:55
for the same reasons that Robbie's been vocal about, the struggles he's had
11:00
So we get each other. And it's amazing. We've got a lot of love out there
11:03
We didn't even know it was out there, like Robbie, Daisy Mae Cooper
11:07
We've got, like, Cara Delevingne. Do you know what I mean? There's so many people firing us little messages in our DMs
11:13
like, big up, boys. We're so happy you're back. Cara's a massive fan. Apparently so
11:17
It's crazy. We're loving it. VIP list of these shows, it's going to be extraordinary
11:20
It's going to be something. Listen, I've got to let you go because I know you've got to get to rehearsals
11:24
No, we can chill a bit longer. It's fine. We don't need to do any more dancing. Let's get some coffees and really..
11:30
Please let us stay. No, you've got to learn the routine to inspect a gadget. I just want to go
11:34
I don't want to. Please, not again. Listen, good luck with the opening
11:38
You don't need it, but it's going to be incredible and I will see you there on the 20th. Thank you so much
11:42
Thank you, man. You can take yourself available to see the Mighty Five. Back to rehearsals, please. Back off you go
11:47
All right. I hope. I hope. You're the choreographer now
