In the early 00s, Hear'Say skyrocketed to fame with their catchy tunes that became anthems of the noughties. However, 23 years have passed and today, it's hard to recognize one of the group's stars. It was 2001 when the British pop scene changed for the better, thanks to Danny Foster, Myleene Klass, Kym Marsh, Suzanne Shaw, and Noel Sullivan - collectively known as Hear'Say. The group was formed through the popular ITV show, Popstars, and quickly became the darlings of pop music. Their hit songs included "Pure and Simple," "The Way to Your Love," and "Everybody."
"Pure and Simple" was a massive success, selling over 500,000 copies in its first week and over one million that year. It was the fastest-selling debut single of all time in the UK at the time, until Will Young broke the record in 2002 with his debut single "Anything Is Possible." The track was on its way to becoming the best-selling single of 2001, but it was eventually overtaken by Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me."
Hear'Say also had four top 40 singles in the UK, and their debut album reached the top of the charts. However, their rapid rise was followed by an equally rapid fall. Just one year after topping the charts, they announced their disbandment. Their record label, Polydor, stated that they had lost the support of the public and that Hear'Say had reached a natural end.
While most of the group members have continued to pursue careers in the spotlight, one has taken a different path. A recent picture shows just how much Danny's life has changed since his days as a pop star. The now 45-year-old shared a video on Instagram of himself performing a yoga routine, looking more relaxed than ever. It seems that Danny has adopted a more peaceful and zen lifestyle, with his social media page dedicated to promoting his "life of wellbeing," which includes yoga, meditation, manifesting, and spreading positive energy.
Danny is married to Victoria Goddard, and the couple often collaborates on videos. They have received praise from Danny's former bandmates, including Suzanne, who commented on one of his videos, saying, "So amazing you are sharing your knowledge!" Together, they also founded the soul revue show, Danny Foster & The Big Soul Corporation, where they perform classic Soul & Motown songs.
While Danny has embraced a slower pace of life, the same cannot be said for some of his former bandmates. Myleene, now 46, has ventured into television and radio presenting, hosting shows like ITV's Popstar to Operastar and BBQ Champ. She also appears as a regular panelist on ITV's Loose Women and BBC's The One Show.
Kym, 48, pursued acting and became a household name for her role as Michelle Connor on Coronation Street. She even won a British Soap Award for Best Newcomer in 2007. More recently, she appeared on the reboot of BBC's school drama series, Waterloo Road.
Suzanne, 43, also pursued acting and is now a respected musical theatre and West End performer. She is also known for her role as Eve Jenson on the popular show, Emmerdale.
Meanwhile, Noel, 44, has tried his hand at musical theatre and also appeared on TV shows.
