I was listening to their greatest hits (what a poptastic CD) and was wondering what had happened to them since their Christmas album flopped.

It was posted on their official Facebook page that they've not split up but are all doing individual things at the moment. I got the impression they haven't any plans to do anything as a band anytime soon. The Christmas album was a mistake to release. They should have waited and put some effort into making a brand new studio album and came back with a bang, I can't see it happening now though.

They are "taking a break" after their 2012 success which I think roughly translates too "bloody hell we made some money but we've 100% maxed out how far we will go, we won't sell albums again so let's just use what we gained for personal gain"

Definetly that Christmas album was just horrible.

They have all been at each others weddings and stuff so I think the TV show was very scripted in that respect.. I'm sure there was tension at the beginning but I doubt it now

People were more interested in hearing the old hits, not hearing anything new. That is why the tour was a success. But after that, what now. Are they just gonna keep doing greatest hits tours. They were a novelty act then, and still are now.

Quietly shelved after the new album flopped, I presumed.

I was watching a repeat of an episode of Steps On The Road Again tonight on sky living and was wondering the same thing. I remember in February watching Faye on Loose Women and when asked what was happening with the band she said they were having a meeting at the end of the month to discuss what the next move could be. That's the last time I've seen any of them on TV [Claire did CBB in January]. and the last thing I heard anything Steps related was on facebook that April Fools joke that they were making a Steps movie!! [admittingly I got excited haha lol] and that's it I have heard nothing since.

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if they have broke up but just not made any announcement of it. It'll probably come to light when one member is doing a TV interview about something completely different and when asked about Steps they will be llke 'oh yeh we decided to call it a day X amount of months ago'. I just don't see where they could go from here. they have done the ultimate collection and tour which was only successful because it was all nostalgic. Their xmas album and tour bombed. the only way forward is to make a new album of original material which I think even Steps know will bomb big time

I watched that tonight too also never seen it before they honestly just seen in it for the cash and honestly that Claire doesn't stop moaning and blarting I love steps and their back catalogue is my secondary school memories but they don't appear to have many redeeming qualities

they don't have to officially split up anyway. They could carry on with Steps every now and then

but to answer the original question they have officially not split up but fans/non-fans either think they may aswell or secretly have
