As Ritchie told me, it was more a case of they accomplished everything that they felt they could AS a pop band. They wanted to move farther on musically as Five, experiment & have more artistic/personal freedom, & take a long break from everything to rethink but it wasn't what their record company wanted. BMG were pushing for another pop single right away and another huge world tour asap. BMG offered them a lot of money to keep going as usual. In the end, the lads talked about it for almost 2 months... everyone around them knew they wanted to either be allowed to break-out & do something radical or just quit pop while they were on top.
I get the feeling BMG thought they were bluffing and wouldn't give in, thinking they would change their minds at the last minute. But Five just said, ok then and made their own arrangements to be on MTV the day before Scott married (the date was chosen purposefully) & quit anyway. I think everyone in the industry was caught by surprise that Five actually went thru with it, though all knew something was about to happen.
Because of the suddeness of their break-up, Five left a lot of people in the business quite angry with them for various reasons. Both Abs and now Ritchie are feeling the backlash and thats why they're having a rougher time then they should. Abs, because a lot of people were upset because he wasn't exactly like "Five" anymore (what a surprise!), and Ritchie because he's taken two years and come back all changed: personally, physically and musically. This is gonna be hard people.
Abs has had to basically promote & market himself while most of the record company budget for him seems to have been spent on his videos & back-up dancers. The poor bloke didn't even have one piece of merchandise available... not a poster, not a t-shirt, nothing. Man, EVERYONE has merchandise. I don't think he ever had a cd signing scheduled or appeared on almost anything but kiddie TV shows. Hard to be taken seriously that way. Even after Abs had several singles out, they never scheduled a tour for him even just in the UK. A lot of people are frankly surprised Abs accomplished all that he even did with such poor support from his own label. The man works like a dog. Hats off to him & best of luck with his new music.

postscript:
If Five ever come back, I think it would be on something like a retrospective of their career with flashbacks of them as Five (nothing new or live) and then perhaps live bits of each of them singing or speaking about his life now. That might be something they would do but I never think they will perform as Five again unless it was something incredible.

oh my god how much are we going to talk about this. ?? 5ive does not exist eny more and how much we want it they wount come back. they wanted this them selfs and they chouse the perfekt time now every bodey remebers them if they had left on the bottom of their carier nowbodey would have known whi they were. and lets gett real yeh they were realy good and yeh i miss them very much but i like to se things in a possetive way. we have five we will always have five in our hearts and the ones who rely loved them will always love them. we have not lost the musik. we have only ganed more musik. there is three instead of one. thats so much better. stop complaning about what hapend and start thinking about the grate songs ritchie , abs and sean has done. and will do it would have been so much wors if they died.

believe it or but occasionally there are fans who go on to 5iveusa that have only just got to know about 5ive and are gutted when they realise they disbanded.

No-one's complaining or wishing the boys would throw away their personal lives and form a pop band all over again It started as a thought of 5ive re-uniting for a moment, for fans, you know, it happens all of the time, throwing a gig like that. For example I loved it when the cast of Happy Days (you know, american series) got back to remember the time. That sounds a bit of what Webmaster thought here, something like that would be really nice. We just don't want to forget

Personally i'm not compleining,i'm happy with the fact they're happy but as i said before,i miss them i miss the fact to hear them all together again,that's the truth,when i'll stop miss them then i'll say ok i like more like this now...but now,no!I like how they were before...coz i could hear 5 great voices..not just 3...i just want them back but this doesn't means that i'm not exciting with what they're doing now,i just liked more before! Anyway,i just agreed to the topic that we want 5ive back..

oh of course not ... how could it be the same? they have grown as ppl while they've been apart.
btw i dont think ppl were complaining but when ur a fan of somthing and its not there any longer - there is always a part of you that wishes it was and thats what we're seeing from fans (just my opinion) i still listen to Five - good music doesn't change being good just cuz the band that made it isnt together right?
