Noughties pop star opens up about ‘damaging experience' in band after he was ‘forced to hide' his sexuality
HE garnered overnight fame back in 2001 after being launched on ITV's reality show Popstars before having huge success in the band Hear'Say, but it wasn't all glitz and glamour behind the scenes. 4 Noel Sullivan has opened up about his time in the band Hear'Say Credit: Rex 4 The band released two albums and four singles before parting ways Credit: Dave Hogan 4 Noel said it was a "damaging experience" to be "chucked back in the closet" Credit: Andrew Barr - The Sun Glasgow The singer has now opened up about his experience in the band and said the experience damaged him because he wasn't allowed to discuss his sexuality. He told 'I was 19, 20 years old at the time, so at an age when I should be exploring who I am. 'To be boxed back up and chucked back in the closet was a damaging experience for me, it took a lot of time to find some resolution to that and not feel guilty or shameful because of it.' READ MORE ON MUSIC Noel is now happily married to his husband James after coming out in 2017 and regularly shares pictures of the pair together on social media. This isn't the first time Noel has opened up about his sexuality being a point of contention when he was in the band. In 2017, he took to Instagram to share a picture of himself on his birthday and took the opportunity to get some things off of his chest. He penned: 'As a 19 year old, I was told to shut up about my sexuality. If I wanted a career, I had to be something else. Silent. It ruined me. Most read in Celebrity 'No one was held accountable for the years of depression and self abuse that followed. It got to the point where I felt like I couldn't speak out anymore because my time in the spotlight had passed and I assumed no one would care. 'It was a turbulent time but I took solace in my family and in theatre. Without the crazy, beautiful, supportive and talented people I worked with, lived with and performed for, I could never have found myself. The noughties pop group Hear'say perform their hit song Pure and Simple 'After years of self doubt I finally feel free to say what I need to. Free to let go of the past, free to love myself. But most importantly, free to love. Thank you.' Hear'Say released two albums in their short-lived career, with their debut album Popstars charting at number one in the UK, Scotland and New Zealand. They followed this up with their second outing, in the form of Everybody, which released just nine months after their first, but it failed to have the same momentum, charting at number 24 in the UK. The band had four top ten singles, with hits Pure and Simple and The Way To Your Love bagging the top honours.
