East 17 are an English pop boy band group consisting of original member Terry Coldwell, Robbie Craig since 2014 and Terry John since 2018. The original line-up also featured John Hendy, Brian Harvey and Tony Mortimer. Other former members include former Union J manager Blair Dreelan.
The group achieved 18 top 20 singles and four top 10 albums, and were one of the UK’s most popular boy bands during the early to mid-1990s, aided by strong tabloid interest in their ‘bad boy’ image, compared to the ‘clean cut’ image of rivals Take That. Their style blended pop and hip hop in songs such as “House of Love” and “Let It Rain”.
The group have sold over 18 million albums worldwide and according to the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), they have been certified with sales of 1.8 million albums and 2.4 million singles in the UK. Their biggest selling single, “Stay Another Day”, was the UK Christmas number one in 1994.
If you haven’t seen their current show – you have missed out. They are so good and every song is a winner !!
