Blue comeback 'partly about the money'

Blue have conceded that financial incentives were part of the reason behind their decision to reform.

The 'All Rise' boyband, who recently headlined the Capital FM Summertime Ball in London, insisted that they were eager to make a comeback.

"If people are going to offer us money, we're going to take it. We've all got kids and mortgages and futures to secure," Duncan James told Heat.

Band member Lee Ryan added: "This is our bread and butter."

The group, who enjoyed three chart-topping albums in the early 2000s, admitted that they did not want to be seen to be jumping on the comeback wagon, before going on to criticise fellow boyband Boyzone.

"Personally, I thought the Boyzone tour was good, but I didn't think the album was good enough," James said.

"And Ronan said we can't dance, so right back at him," added Ryan.
