What happened to Brother Beyond and singer Nathan Moore?

Remember Brother Beyond? They were one of the biggest boybands of the late 1980s, but what happened to them all?

The group initially wrote all their own songs, but didn't find huge chart success until they secured the services of hitmaking maestros Stock, Aitken and Waterman.

'The Harder I Try' was a number two hit in 1988, behind 'A Groovy Kind of Love' by Phil Collins. They followed this up with number six hit 'He Ain't No Competition'.

Sadly, they struggled to keep the hits going with songs from their second album, Trust. Singer Nathan Moore later admitted: "We made the classic mistake of thinking they did not need Stock Aitken and Waterman. We wrote the whole of the next album ourselves and it bombed totally."

After two albums, the group split up by 1991. The group still perform together every now and then, but what else are the boys up to?
