Lee Ryan has revealed that he decided to quit Blue partly because he was sick of miming.
Ryan complains that the band was increasingly becoming a money-making venture rather than a group people who wanted to perform and entertain people with music they could be proud of.
IOL.ie quote him as saying: "We lost that thing of singing live. We didn't do that towards the end and I didn't want to mime. The satisfaction in the job had gone and doing it for the money was too shallow.
"The reason I left Blue was that I wasn't giving it my all or concentrating on it, I believed I should have been giving it 100%
"All of us had lost interest in the music. Without that, the rest was bulls**t."
The singer recently explained that he appreciated the fact he is free to speak his mind now that he is not part of a boy-band.
Lee is currently at number nine in the UK singles sales chart with Army of Lovers.
