Where are they now? >>> Five Star

Five Star are a British pop/R&B group, formed in 1983. Comprising siblings Stedman, Lorraine, Denise, Doris and Delroy Pearson, they were known for their flamboyant image, matching costumes and heavily choreographed dance routines.
Between 1985 and 1988, Five Star had four top 20 albums and 15 Top 40 singles in the UK, including the top 10 hits “Can’t wait another minute”, “Find the time” and “Rain or shine”. They won the 1987 Brit Award for Best British Group.

At the height of their success the family bought Stone Court, a large security gated mansion in Surrey, in which they all lived and worked (with a built in recording studio). They also owned a fleet of supercars including Lamborghinis and Ferraris. Their affluent lifestyle was heavily publicised in the press and on television.
In 1990, after several unsuccessful singles, the family declared bankruptcy and they forced to sell their Berkshire mansion after only two years.
Five Star returned to the UK in 2002, as a trio of Stedman, Denise and Lorraine, to perform on various tours.
Five Star performed, with all five original members, at the 2012 Rewind Festivals on 21 July at Scone Palace, Perth, Scotland, and on 18 August at Henley-On-Thames.

Oh my God, all they had all gone, even in those days they should have been better advised, I mean it was well after the Viv Nicholls episode of ‘I’m gonna spend spend spend”, but you never know, if they had good accountants then they have it in a tax haven some where.

They bought Stone Court from my aunt and uncle. I remember meeting them several times as I was living at Stone Court at the time. I had no idea who they were. They were friendly but living LARGE. I left England soon after and was always curious about them.

In my opinion, THE most talent group of the era putting out great song after great song. Luxury Of Life and Silk & Steel are a must have album for any fan of 80’s music.

They were an incredibly young and talented pop group, They should re-form with the right management they still have what it takes to make an impact – come on you guys give it a go, you can’t manufacture talent you either have it or you don’t and 5 Star had bags of it.

A very talented beautiful family. I enjoyed their music and felt they should have been bigger and gone longer.

I really enjoyed their music. I always wondered what happened to them. They were one of my favorite singing groups of the 80s. And the Jets too

I think I must have been and continue to be e their number 1 fan There was no other group in the UK that were in their league! I also felt I could relate to them,, as I am also of Jamaican parentage. They bought joy to my teenage years and continue to fascinate me to this very day!
