They went their separate ways in 2001 before getting back together in 2014 for ITV show The Big Reunion.

When the band broke up, some members ditched the pop world completely, with Jade going on to be a chef.

He worked at five-star H๏τel Claridge’s in London and has previously worked with Gordon Ramsay, appearing on his television show The F Word.

Jade has also worked at the Connaught H๏τel in London’s Mayfair and has previously said he wanted to open a restaurant with his Spice Girl wife Emma Bunton, who he married in 2021 after many years together.

He said back in 2008: ‘Yes, I want to open a restaurant with Emma. We’re not sure when or where yet, but it’s something we’re seriously looking into.’

He joked that Emma would not have much say in the kitchen: ‘I won’t let Emma in the kitchen any more.

‘I’ve heard Gordon Ramsay has two kitchens in his house, so we might do the same. One for me and one for her. Every time she picks up a knife I get terrified.’

Rahsaan is now a pH๏τographer and Andrez works in the rehabilitation of young offenders.

The five original Damage members could not let bygones be bygones after meeting face to face for the first time in four years on The Big Reunion in 2014.

During a tense and heated discussion which saw the group discuss their many demons of the past which led to their demise, they failed to agree to disagree. 

After discussing their last reunion, which ended up with Coreé getting inebriated and causing a fight on the motorway, the musician admitted: ‘To be fair I can’t remember what happened at the end of the show.’

Jade started by opening up the can of worms: ‘So much has been brushed under the carpet, so much has happened over 20 years.’

The group then went on to discuss their own personal demons and their inability to communicate with Coreé about his wild behaviour.

Rahsaan said: ‘Whenever we want to talk to you about something, you were quite confrontational, which is why we never dealt with it.’ 

Noel said: ‘There is a piece of your personality which was really difficult to deal with growing up, I personally saw signs when it was difficult to come to you when there was an issue.’

Rahsaan added: ‘These debts run up to £100,000 with Jade, yourself and Coreé why wasn’t anyone paying the debts, why weren’t anyone answering the letters that were coming to your houses? I was ready to bankrupt everyone.’ [sic]

Over the last few days, frontman Jade Jones has shared a number of videos on social media, showing each member of the band receiving a phone call. When they answer the call, a deep, gravelly voice can be heard saying: 'Hello, it's time' (pictured 2014)

Coreé then went on to criticise their bond and admitted his addictions were his demise: ‘We have never clicked the same way I have clicked with others. There was a very low point with the drugs, at one point I was very suicidal.’

In an intimate chat with his mother, Coreé revealed that his lowest point was when he slept on Brighton beach for two weeks, which caused his mother to burst into tears.

Coreé then spoke about the juxtaposition of how the public perceived him and the dark times he was going through with addiction.

He said: ‘You’re dealing with meeting dealers on the street, and you’re met by people who ask for your autograph and they don’t know where I’m going.’

Adding that when he was in prison for drink driving, he found the reality hard to deal with: ‘I went to prison and could see my school from the window and thought how did I get from there to here. Not one of them came to visit me, none of them sent me a letter.’

Bringing things back to the present Coreé admitted he thought it was all about the money: ‘We had left a record deal, we basically chopped our foot off for leaving that, I thought we were doing gigs just to pay debts.’

The band are yet to announce what their current reunion involves and if they will be heading out on tour.
