Huge 90s popstar looks unrecognisable a decade after quitting fame for a quiet life --[Reported by Umva mag]

A NINTIES boyband sensation looked worlds away from his days at the top of the charts as he enjoyed a low-key outing in London. The former pop music heartthrob quit being a member of one of Britain’s best-loved bands around a decade ago in order to enjoy a life away from the spotlight.
