Damage, comprising Rahsaan Bromfield, Andrez Harriott, Jade Jones, and Noel Simpson, stands as one of the UK's most successful R&B bands from the 1990s. With over 2.5 million records sold worldwide and four Top Ten UK singles, they have been a defining force in the R&B music scene since their formation in 1995. Their recent resurgence includes performances at high-profile events across the country, continuing to captivate audiences with their timeless hits.
The band originated in London, formed by Rahsaan Bromfield and Noel Simpson during their time at the Barbara Speake Stage School. They were soon joined by Andrez Harriott, Coreé Richards, and Jade Jones. In 1995, Damage sent their demo tape to Big Life Records, leading to their breakthrough. Early singles "Love II Love" and "Forever" both achieved Top Ten positions on the UK Singles Chart. Their debut album, Forever, was released in 1997, followed by an international tour that solidified their reputation as R&B icons. The band's second album, Since You've Been Gone, released in the early 2000s, received widespread critical acclaim.
After a brief hiatus, Damage reunited for The Big Reunion, an ITV documentary series that chronicled the comeback journeys of former top-tier bands. Since then, they have continued to tour across the UK, with successful runs in 2019 and 2020. Their performances offer fans a nostalgic return to the 90s and 2000s music scene, featuring their chart-topping R&B hits. Whether performing at intimate events or large venues, Damage delivers a dynamic and unforgettable experience, blending pop and R&B to keep audiences on their feet. Their enduring passion and talent ensure their place as a beloved staple of British R&B.
In 2024, Damage announced plans to celebrate their 30th anniversary, despite members having pursued different careers post-music. This milestone underscores their lasting impact on the music industry and their unwavering connection with fans. Their upcoming performances promise to deliver the same energy and passion that have defined their career, making them an ideal choice for events seeking to offer a blend of nostalgia and vibrant entertainment.
