Fans were quick to comment after the group wiped their Instagram account and shared a clip of Euston station with the lyrics to their number one hit ‘Keep On Movin’ from 1999.
It was captioned ‘27.02.25 Loading…’ with a link to their website.
Five’s (5ive) original line-up included Sean Conlon, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson, Abz Love and Jason “J” Brown.
However, in recent years the group have toured as a three-piece – minus Abz and J – after initially making a comeback as a four-piece in 2013 after taking part in ITV’s The Big Reunion.
One fan commented on their Instagram post: “If J comes back this is the best thing to happen since the 5 piece Spice Girls Olympics performance in 2012.”
While another added: “If J is back and it’s a tour then I’ll swap someone for my Oasis ticket.”
Fans were also quick to find that a new company called All Five Ltd was created at the end of last year – with all five members listed as directors on Companies House.
The band, known for hits ‘Slam Dunk (Da Funk)’ and their remix of Queen’s ‘We Will Rock You’, split in late 2001 after selling more than 20 million records worldwide and scoring three UK number ones.
They were formed in 1997 and subsequently signed by Simon Cowell and labels BMG/RCA Records.
It was well documented that the group had a tubulous time together, with arguments leading to poor mental health for some members of the band.

Speaking in BBC Two’s Boyband Forever series broadcast in November last year, Scott, Ritchie and Sean all shared their ups and downs from their time in the group.
Recounting a particular low point, Sean spoke of how Robbie Williams comforted him at the Brit Awards.
“I just always craved this normality that I didn’t have,” he said.
“Then Robbie Williams came up to me and put his arm around me and said ‘are you alright mate?’ and I just froze….I just needed somebody normal.”
