Myself and H are really delighted that we’ll have the chance to go to Wales on this tour but basically every night is going to be fantastic.’ Steps’ new single, a double A-side, Here & Now/You’ll Be Sorry, is released on 4 June. The band have denied that they are splitting up after this tour following rumours that this would be their farewell to fans and that a greatest hits album was due for release at the end of the year.
