The group enjoyed great international success with their catchy pop hits in the late 1990s and early 1990s.

On Instagram, A1 told fans, “What a year it has been and so much more to come.

“Thank you for all your continued love and support.

“This is where you can meet us for the rest of 2023, hopefully in a city near you.

“Spread the word, plan a road trip and follow @a1official for more details.”

The group, which has been on a world tour since February, will visit Dubai, Singapore, the Philippines, Manchester and many more later this year.

The band enjoyed big hits with the likes of Take On Me, Like A Rose and Same Old Brand New You before Paul announced in 2002 that he was leaving the collective, citing “personal reasons” for his shocking decision.

A1 was an unlikely band formed by Norwegian music student Christian, singer Mark, friend Ben and dancer Paul.

Despite scoring top ten hits at the height of their fame and selling 10 million records, A1 suffered an acrimonious split in 2002 following the departure of Paul.
