During a recent interview, Nicole Appleton, a former member of the popular girl group All Saints, hinted at the possibility of a reunion. The band, known for their 90s hits such as "Pure Shores" and "Never Ever," rose to fame and captured the hearts of fans worldwide. Though they initially consisted of Melanie Blatt, Simone Rainford, and Shaznay Lewis, Nicole and her sister Natalie Appleton joined in 1996 and became an integral part of the group's success.
After five years of making music together, All Saints split for the first time in 2001. Since then, the members have briefly reunited for special projects but have focused mainly on their solo careers. However, Nicole, now 49, recently revealed that a reunion at one of the biggest music festivals in the world, Glastonbury, could be in the works.
"Absolutely, All Saints would love to perform at Glastonbury," Nicole shared with OK! Magazine. "If there's a demand for it, then it's definitely something we would consider." She also mentioned that the group has been together for 25 years and will celebrate their 30th anniversary in 2026. With the possibility of Glastonbury taking a break in 2026, this could be the perfect opportunity for the band to celebrate their milestone at the festival.
However, Nicole made it clear that there is no rush to reunite as they are all currently enjoying their individual careers. "We're all doing our own thing at the moment, so it's nice to have a break," she explained. "I'm happy with what I'm doing, and the girls are happy with their own projects too."
Over the years, the members of All Saints have experienced both success and heartbreak. In 2013, Simone tragically passed away at the age of 38 from kidney cancer. In 2018, the remaining members released their fifth studio album, Testament, and in 2020, they released a cover of Sting's "Message in a Bottle."
After the initial split in 2001, Nicole and Natalie formed a duo under the name Appleton. They released their first single, "Fantasy," in 2002 and their debut album, Eventual, in 2003, which featured the hit song "Everything's Eventual." In April of this year, Melanie Blatt announced her first solo single in years, "Do Me Wrong," following her previous solo releases in 2003 and 2005.
Shaznay also pursued a solo career, releasing her first single, "Never Felt Like This Before," in 2004, which reached number eight on the UK singles chart. She followed up with her debut album, Open, two weeks later, which reached number 22 on the UK albums chart. In April of this year, Shaznay released a new single, "Good Mourning," featuring Shola Ama and General Levy, and her album Pages was released in May of 2024.
Though the members of All Saints have branched out into their own projects, their love for each other and the music they created together remains strong. As Nicole put it, "We've spent 25 years together, and when it comes to performing, we'll definitely consider it if the fans are hungry for it." And if the stars align, fans may just see a long-awaited reunion at Glastonbury in the near future.
