In yesterday’s Sunday Mirror it was rumoured that “record bosses are worried the new Steps video might be too raunchy”. “The band turn into their alter-egos and it’s pretty racy stuff,” an insider says.” Obviously […]

Despite MTV UK saying that they were behind the scenes of the making of the Deeper Shade Of Blue video, and unless they have the programme scheduled for next week, it seems that Planet Pop might beat them to it. According to today’s show they will be airing information and probably the video next Sunday […]

Before I get any more e-mails about this, GenSTEPS has never said that Deeper Shade Of Blue has been delayed! All dates I have still suggest 13 March but reports are indicating that it will move… more when I get it. I can’t remember if I mentioned this but Live & Kicking will be doing […]
