A legendary nineties R&B boyband have announced their biggest ever UK tour, with tickets expected to go on sale this week.
Damage’s Jade Jones, Andrez Harriott, Rahsaan Jas and Noel Simpson are currently on their 30IRTY The Anniversary tour. Coreé Richards left early in the group’s career.
The group have revealed that they will return to the UK in December 2025 at the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire stage.
They split in 2001 before getting back together in 2014 for the ITV show The Big Reunion.
When the band broke up, some members left the pop world completely and Jade became a chef.
She worked at the five-star Claridge’s hotel in London and previously worked with Gordon Ramsay, appearing on his television show The F Word.
Jade also worked at the Connaught hotel in London’s Mayfair and previously said he wanted to open a restaurant with his Spice Girl wife Emma Bunton, whom he married in 2021 after many years together.
In 2008 he said: “Yes, I want to open a restaurant with Emma.” “We’re not sure when or where yet, but it’s something we’re seriously looking into.”
He joked that Emma wouldn’t have much say in the kitchen: “I’m not letting Emma in the kitchen anymore.”
I heard Gordon Ramsay has two kitchens in his house, so we could do the same. One for me and one for her. Every time he picks up a knife I get terrified.
Rahsaan is now a photographer and Andrez works in the rehabilitation of young offenders.

The five original members of Damage couldn’t let bygones be bygones after meeting face to face for the first time in four years at The Big Reunion in 2014.
During a tense and heated discussion in which the group discussed the many demons from the past that led to their demise, they would not agree to disagree.
After talking about their last reunion, which ended with Coreé getting drunk and causing a fight on the highway, the musician admitted: “To be fair, I don’t remember what happened at the end of the show.”
Jade began by opening the can of worms: “So much has been swept under the rug, so much has happened in 20 years.”
The group then went on to discuss their own personal demons and their inability to communicate with Coreé about his wild behavior.
Rahsaan said, “Whenever we wanted to talk to you about something, you were quite confrontational, which is why we never addressed it.”
Noel said: “There’s a part of your personality that was really difficult to deal with growing up. I personally saw signs that it was difficult to come to you when there was a problem.”
Rahsaan added: ‘These debts amount to £100,000 owed to Jade, you and Coreé, why was no one paying the debts, why was no one answering the letters that came to your homes? He was ready to ruin everyone. (sic)
Over the past few days, frontman Jade Jones has shared several videos on social media, showing each member of the band receiving a phone call. When they answer the call, a deep, raspy voice can be heard saying, “Hello, it’s time” (pictured in 2014).

Coreé later criticized their bond and admitted that his addictions were his demise: ‘We have never gotten along the same way I do with others. There was a very low point with drugs, at one point I was very suicidal.
In an intimate chat with her mother, Coreé revealed that her lowest point was when she slept on Brighton beach for two weeks, causing her mother to burst into tears.
Coreé then talked about the juxtaposition of how he was perceived by the public and the dark times he was going through with addiction.
He said: “You’re dealing with dealers on the street, and you meet people asking you for an autograph and they don’t know where I’m going.”
And he added that when he was in prison for driving under the influence, he found it difficult to face reality: “I went to prison and I could see my school from the window and I thought how I got from there to here.” None of them came to visit me, none of them sent me a letter.
Returning to the present, Coreé admitted that he thought it was all about money: “We had left a record deal, we basically cut our feet for leaving, I thought we were doing concerts just to pay off debts.”
The band has not yet announced what their current reunion entails and whether they will tour.
