(November
5, 2003) Based on the rumors that were circulating and the many questions posed
by fans following Ashley's announcement of his solo debut album, Inside O-Town
asked Ashley to get a statement from all 5 guys to give to the fans about the
future of O-Town and what each of them are doing now. This is the statement
that Ash gave us after consulting with all of the guys - please note that all
O-Town sites are welcome to reprint this statement provided that credit is given

updates on the guys.

Dear O-TOWN Fans,
We realize there have been several different rumors circulating
about the group and we would like to tell you ourselves exactly where we stand.
O-TOWN will always be the greatest blessing any one of us could have ever wished
for ... unfortunately, however, we had to sign several contracts that were not
in our best interests. We wanted you to know that our decision not to continue
forward as O-TOWN was mutual and we all still remain best friends ... that will
never change. Here is an update on each one of us:
Jacob has finished building his home in San Diego where he recently served
as an honorary fire fighter to protect his neighborhood from the California
fires. Thankfully, he and his family are safe. He continues his study of the
Bible to regain focus and direction and he is learning more everyday.
Dan is living in Orlando where he has been writing and producing a lot
of material out of his home studio. He will keep you posted on his plans for
upcoming projects.
Trevor lives in Southern California where he continues to study acting,
professionally. He is currently auditioning for both film and television and
can be found on local golf courses everywhere.
Ashley resides in Los Angeles where he is currently writing and recording
material for a solo album. Shortly, he will be launching his own website where
you can find out much more information about this and ask him any questions
you might have.
As always Erik-Michael is all over the country
on any given day. He has constantly been surrounding himself in a work environment.
He continues to write incredible songs and has been approached by different
companies regarding a solo project. Erik has also been given the opportunity
to explore his acting talents and has become quite ambitious about that! He
has mentioned the possibility of his own website so keep tuned to Inside
O-Town for that link. We hope this update has answered some of your questions
concerning the group. As you know, we truly appreciate all the support of our
fans. Talk to you soon!
Love, O-TOWN
