	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP

Simon Webbe, born March 30, 1979 in Manchester, England, is a solo artist and former member of the British boy band Blue.

His first single, "Lay Your Hands", was released on 22 August 2005, and reached #4 on the UK Singles Chart. His second, "No Worries" also reached #4 in November. Right after the release of his second single, the debut album, "Sanctuary", was released. Despite its #28 debut on the UK album charts, the album began to climb in its later weeks. On 13 March 2006, nearly 4 months after its release, the album went to #7 in the official charts making its second appearance in the top 10.

The third single released from Simon's album, "After All This Time", was released in February and failed to become Simon's third consecutive solo Top 10 hit, entering at #16.

In September, Webbe's official site revealed that the 1st single from his second album would be released on 30 October 2006. The song, "'Coming Around Again", is described as "an uplifting slice of soulful pop" and "a reminder of the highlights in your life". The single peaked at #12 in the UK Singles Charts, and the album, "Grace", will be released on 13 November 2006.

In addition to singing, Webbe is also an excellent amateur football player. He had intended to try professional football, but suffered a career-ending injury in his teens. However, he did play a striker in Sky One's The Match. He is a self-confessed supporter of English Football side Port Vale, with whom he had trials at when he was a youngster.
