Inspired by ThePensmith's thread: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=143555
Are there any? Talking about Upper Street sort of stuff. Members nobody cares about but who might have had some success on charts. |

Matt Willis from Busted.
 Well, I thought his debut solo single 'Up All Night' was better than all of Busted's back catalogue combined.

From the thread mentioned above, I was thinking about Antony Costa and Mikey Graham but top 20 is not that much of a success really..

I loved Matt's stuff. It was the most in the 'spirit' of Busted but it wasn't like the total joke that was Son of Dork - all their songs of which are actually now in the new musical 'Loserville' that James is directing and has written! Simon Webbe would be another contender here - I loved both his solo albums - and also JC Chasez from my above mentioned thread! |

Robbie Williams, Ronan Keating & Justin Timberlake are the only ones i can think of that have had real success away from their bands

I think the purpose of the thread is to find "supporting" members of bands who have had solo careers. Ronan, Robbie and Justin were out front...

I thought the reason Robbie left was because gary was hogging the spotlight?

I'm never sure that Robbie was a "supporting" member. The other 3 (Howard, Jason and Mark) are probably.
I could be just saying that though because I don't know Take That in the early years very well and I'm used to Robbie's massive success. |

Simon Webbe is a good one. Good grief, Blue was full of them
I was thinking about Robbie as well because the first solo verses he sang were on Everything Changes (title track). He was supposed to be a supporting member but didn't accept the role. Mark was the cute one (=fan favourite) so I'd say he was the second in line after Gary. This post has been edited by SKOB: Jun 27 2012, 10:10 AM |

He was supposed to be a supporting member but didn't accept the role. It wasn't that he didn't except the role, he has said that he lost control after he started drinking heavily and taking drugs. He said that he couldn't keep up with TT's tightly controlled management machine which had them waking up in Japan and going to sleep in America and in the end Jason Orange and Nigel Martin Smith (their manager at the time) gave him an ultimatum to either get his act together before the world tour they had coming up or to leave the band. He did the latter and the rest is history. Mark was very much a supporting member, he did ok, what's he had? 3 or 4 top 5 singles...his album performances was awful though |
