Five reform for 2006

On 27 September 2006 it was announced that only four of the five members of the band would be reforming - J, Abz, Ritchie & Scott. Sean Conlon is pursuing a solo career. Despite being only a band of four they kept the name Five. The band also announced that they would be releasing a new album and were planning a tour.

Having recorded half an album, Five disbanded again on 19 May 2007 due to not getting a record deal.
