I wanted to open a thread for people who may not know some of these facts about Steps - mostly because the band themselves never really share these facts.

It’s our mission to ensure everyone is aware of such important facts!!


1. Lisa Scott-Lee lives in Dubai
2. Sia wrote What The Future Holds for them!
3. H stands for Hyperactive (not homo, surprisingly!)
4. The last person Claire saw on December 21st 2001 was Faye.

Any more lesser known facts we need to share?

Not sure if it’s lesser know or not, but Australia gave Steps their first #1 with 5,6,7,8.

I would say that fits the brief as well - they don’t tell us that very often.

Lisa felt it was such a shock.

Lee wasn’t sure about Scared of the Dark being the comeback single.

He wanted something with more even vocal distribution. #blocals

I wonder how this played out.
Did they sit the others down and calmly tell them or would there have been a birruva tiff and "We're leaving" being a parting shot before making everyone go out and perform to thousands?

Essentially. They had letters as well. Apparently, H’s letter was like two lines.

Lee showed H at the 2012 reunion. Not sure if it’s still about now.
