How Old Are Steps Members

So, there I was, at this retro music festival, minding my own business, when suddenly, the crowd goes wild. I look up, and who do I see? None other than the legendary Steps! I mean, I knew they were making a comeback, but seeing them in the flesh was something else. But then it hit me, "Wow, they've been around since my parents were young!" And that, my friends, is how I ended up wondering, just how old are the Steps members?

Let's Take a Step Back

Before we dive into their ages, let's rewind to 1997. That's when Steps, the British pop group that took the world by storm, was formed. They were the ultimate boy band-meets-girl group, with seven members: Lee Latchford-Evans, Claire Richards, Lisa Scott-Lee, Ian 'H' Watkins, Faye Tozer, and two who left in 2001, Sinitta Malone and Matt Cardle.

So, How Old Are They Now?

Well, let's start with the original members. As of 2022, Lee, Claire, Lisa, Ian, and Faye are all in their late 30s to early 40s. Lee is the oldest at 45, while Claire and Lisa are both 44. Ian and Faye are the youngest of the originals, both turning 43 this year. Now, you might be thinking, "That's not that old!" And you're right, they're still looking fabulous and sounding amazing.

But here's where it gets interesting. Matt and Sinitta, who left the group in 2001, are now in their mid-40s. Matt is 40, and Sinitta is 44. Now, I don't know about you, but when I was 15 (which is when they joined Steps), 40 seemed ancient! But hey, age is just a number, right?

Steps Through the Ages

Steps might have started out as a bunch of teenagers, but they've grown up in the public eye. They've seen the rise and fall of boy bands, the evolution of pop music, and even a few of their own comebacks. They've been through it all, and they're still going strong.

So, the next time you're singing along to "5, 6, 7, 8" or "Tragedy", remember that these aren't just a bunch of kids. They're a group of adults who have been entertaining us for over two decades. And you know what? They're not showing any signs of slowing down. So, here's to Steps, the original pop legends who are still stepping strong!
