The band’s journey began in the late 1990s, captivating hearts worldwide with their catchy tunes and synchronized dance moves. Their last album, Celebrity, was released in 2001, marking the end of their initial run. Although they briefly appeared at the VMAs in 2013 to honor Timberlake’s Video Vanguard Award, no new music was released.
