Simon Cowell has unveiled his latest boyband, December 10, who have released their debut music video covering NSYNC's iconic hit 'Bye Bye Bye'. The seven-member group was formed on Netflix reality series 'The Next Act', which documented Cowell's search for his next pop sensation.
The band consists of Nicolas Alves, 16, Cruz Lee-Ojo, 19, Hendrik Christoffersen, 19, John Fadare, 17, Josh Olliver, 17, Danny Bretherton, 16, and Seán Hayden, 19. Their debut acoustic video was filmed at Metropolis Studios and featured briefly at the end of the six-part Netflix show.
Fans have already expressed enthusiasm online, with one commenting: 'So surprised by all of their voices, everyone got something really special and it fits together so good.' Another added: 'Can’t wait for their first original song!' Simon Cowell told the band: 'When this show airs your whole life changes. I am really, really proud of you individually.'
Band members shared their aspirations in their first group interview. Cruz said: 'I’d love to go on a stadium tour and perform at Wembley Stadium. I’d also love to perform at The Brits.' Danny, from Chorley, revealed he auditioned after being encouraged by his aunt, and admitted being 'pretty shocked' to make the final seven out of over 1,000 applicants. He added: 'I grew up in Chorley without a musical background. I needed to find something that I loved, and that's music.'
