A HUGE 90s girl group are rehearsing for new shows while preparing for a sensational comeback. The band's history dates back to 1992, although they have been together sporadically since then. R&B group Eternal originally included Louise Redknapp (then Nurding), Kéllé Bryan and the Bennett sisters, Easther and Vernie.
Easther and Vernie are now bringing Eternal back, joined by new singer Christel Lakhdar. Meanwhile, Louise will not be returning to the band, having left back in 1995. Likewise, Kéllé Bryan, who was an on and off member between 1992 to 2014, will also not be part of the new-look group.
Eternal have posted footage of their comeback rehearsals as they gear up for a string of shows, with the first at Rochester Castle this Saturday. A source told The Mirror that the group reportedly "can't wait" to take to the stage and that there is "huge excitement" for the shows. That being said, the much-hyped return hasn't gone fully without a hitch.
Although Vernie was seen in the rehearsals footage wearing a moon-boot after hurting her foot, she is expected to be fit for this weekend. The revamped band follows a dispute over transgender issues, which saw Louise accused of violating the trust of the founding members by leaking and misrepresenting a private email's content. However, a source close to the band said the argument was "very much all in the past", while expressing how grateful the group is for the support.
Vernie has not commented on the controversy, but said.
