Blue To Split Next Year?

The People reports that Lee Ryan told partygoers at Elton John’s White Tie and Tiara Ball that Blue will split after a money-spinning tour to pay off taxes. “He told us that the guys want to do a final tour,” a friend of the singer revealed. “It’s so they can all cover their tax debts and walk away with a fortune. Blue have made a lot of money over the past few years as one of Britain’s biggest groups. But now the taxman is looking to take a large chunk of that cash off each of them. So they want to clean up on their last tour and painlessly pay off the taxman.”
