East 17 reform without key member

90's British boy band, East 17, have announced their reformation although they have been forced to let go of a key member. 

A message to fans on their official Facebook page explains that frontman Brian Harvey will not join them because he was "destroying any chance for success":

"East 17 were ready to get back out there, Brian didn't turn up to rehearsals, studio (sic) and was cancelling gigs before we even had a chance to do them! Brian was destroying any chance for success again as a band so we had to make a decision, not only for us but for you "The Fans"!!!"

Despite this obvious setback, the 'Stay Another Day' hitmakers have recruited Blair Dreelan as a replacement and are planning to do another comeback tour this July. The only released date so far is July 27 at London's Islington Academy.
