Boy bands gone bad

They’ve got chocolate-boy good looks, great voices and squeaky clean images. At least, that’s how boy bands start out. But sooner or later, the lure of the big, bad world of sex and drugs proves too irresistible.
Most recently, it was revealed that One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson is going to be a father soon, breaking many teeny-bopper hearts across the world. And the girl in question, Briana Jungwirth, isn’t his current girlfriend, but an American stylist who he had a brief relationship with a couple of months ago.This isn’t even the first time that 1D have made headlines over a scandal — last year, footage emerged that showed Louis and his former bandmate Zayn Malik allegedly smoking a roll-up joint in Peru last year. We take a look at other boy bands gone bad.

BLUE
This noughties boy band topped the charts with their catchy songs 'One Love' and 'All Rise' and its members had the standard good-lads image. But soon enough, reports of drinking, drugs, affairs and secret children started surfacing and followed the boys well after they disbanded. Singer Lee Ryan used to stir up controversy regularly with his one-liners, the most famous being, “Who gives a f*** about New York (9/11) when elephants are being killed?”

THE BACKSTREET BOYS
The Backstreet Boys, or BSB, as they were known by their fans, were the definitive American boy band of the late 90s. They even went on to become the best-selling boy band in history. However, the pressure of all that fame got to them and the band was beset with drug and alcohol addiction problems. In fact, it was revealed that members AJ McLean and Nick Carter had been admitted into rehab after the boys had to cancel several of their concerts in 2005.

5IVE
In-fighting got the better of 5ive, a British pop group that was put together by Simon Cowell, which has broken up and reformed over the years. Reports of rivalry and backstage fighting surfaced in the media, but things came to a head after a nightclub brawl that led to the arrest of band members Ritchie Neville and Jason Brown, after which the band broke up in 2001. They reformed a couple of times, as a quartet first and then a trio.

TAKE THAT
This quintet led the revival of the British boy band in the early 90s and was known for their spectacular performances and great work ethic. However, differences between lead singers Gary Barlow and Robbie Williams, as well as Robbie’s drug use — especially when he nearly OD’ed before the band were to take the stage an at awards show — led to Take That disbanding in 1996. They have reformed at various points in time through the years, and some of the boys have successful solo careers as singers and reality TV show judges.
