Boyz on Block are an English supergroup formed in 2019 consisting of Phats & Small singer Ben Ofoedu and former boy band members Abz Love, Dane Bowers and Shane Lynch from Five, Another Level and Boyzone respectively.[1]

Formation

Having all met during their heydays, in 2019 while booked for the same show, Abz Love, Dane Bowers, Shane Lynch and Ben Ofoedu all found themselves on stage together and decided to form their own band.[2]

On 20 November 2020 the band released the first taste of music with a cover of East 17's Stay Another Day featuring songwriter and former East 17 member Tony Mortimer with an accompanying video.[3]

On 15 February 2021 their first official single was released along with an accompanying video and some remixes. It was a cover of K-Ci & JoJo's All My Life.[4] An album had been scheduled for a 2021 release.
