When Simon Webbe tied the knot with his beautiful bride Ayshen Kemal on Saturday – as exclusively revealed by HELLO! – his Blue bandmates were on hand to play a very special role in proceedings. HELLO! can now reveal that Simon, together with Lee Ryan, Duncan James and Anthony Costa, performed a set of some of their best-loved hits as the evening celebrations got underway at the luxury Corinthia Hotel London, with guests singing along and dancing to tracks including All Rise, Too Close and Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word.
"We love this boy and we're so happy – we've been together for 18 years now, we're brothers, and we want to welcome Ayshen to our family now," the band announced as they rounded off their high-octane performance, which HELLO! was there to witness.
