Lee Brennan

Lee Anthony Brennan (born September 27, 1973) is an English singer, songwriter, dancer and actor. He is the lead vocalist of boy band 911.

Early Life
Brennan was born in Carlisle, Cumbria to Francis and Una Brennan. Lee, his two brothers Kevin and Marc, and older sister Julie were brought up by their mum and stepfather Stephen Mcalindon in Harraby & Currock, Carlisle. Lee also has a younger sister Rebecca from his father's second marriage. He was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma twice, first aged nine and then again aged 15, of which treatment left him infertile.

Brennan had previously wanted to play for his local football team Carlisle United. However, despite trials and visits from club scouts, he was turned down because, at just 5ft 4in (163cm), he was considered too small. However, he captained the county football team at under-14 and under-16 levels.

Music
911 were formed in 1995 when Jimmy Constable and Spike Dawbarn met on the ITV late-night dance show The Hit Man and Her and soon decided tof form a band. After meeting Brennan, they became a trio and were soon signed to Virgin Records. They then released their debut album "Night to Remember", a cover of the classic Shalamar tune, in 1996. 911 had huge success during their time in the charts, releasing a total of 14 singles and four albums, including a Greatest Hits album. The band announced their split in 2000.

In 2005, 911 reunited and took part in Hit Me, Baby, One More Time. They were successful in gaining a place in the final, where they performed their signature song "Bodyshakin'" and S Club 7's hit "Don't Stop Movin'". Although 911 did not win the competition, the show resulted in a renewed interest in the band. Brennan regularly reunited with the other members of 911 to perform in gigs up and down the UK.

On October 18, 2012, it was announced that 911, along with B*Witched, Five, Atomic Kitten, Honeyz and Liberty X, would be reuniting again for the ITV2 documentary series The Big Reunion.
