Blue can’t wait to celebrate the group’s 20th anniversary on tour.
The All Rise stars were forced to put plans for live shows put on hold due to the pandemic, but that hasn’t stopped them from mapping out their upcoming performances.
Speaking to The Sun, singer Antony Costa shared: “Prior to the pandemic we were still doing the odd gig here and there so we still know all the dance moves.
“There won’t be any back-flips involved though. You don’t want to see greying 40-year-old men trying to be 20-year-olds.
“When we did gigs in the past we said, ‘Boys, let’s not do the dad dance or Uncle K**bhead at a wedding’.”
While Antony, Duncan James, Simon Webbe and Lee Ryan were inspired by the likes of The Temptations when it comes to their moves, and they insist dancing will remain part of their live act, they don’t want to embarrass themselves.
“When we were younger we were always looking at people like The Temptations. What they did was slick and it was great,” he added.
“For us, we’ve got to dance to our songs, but you don’t want to start jumping up and down and jumping off the stage, trying to be cool.
“We’re still very lucky to do a job we love, and I can’t wait to get back on that stage.”
Blue made their musical debut in 2001 with the massive hit All Rise, with its album of the same name topping the UK charts and going 4x platinum. Two more No. 1 albums followed – One Love and Guilt – before the group went on hiatus in 2005.
They later returned to represent the United Kingdom at the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest, finishing in 11th place, and went on to release two further LPs.
