YOU’LL ALL BE glad to know that Hanson are back.

Well, it seems that they really didn’t go away.

While most of us have fond (or otherwise) memories of their 1997 hit MMMBop they’ve been keeping busy in the meantime.

We recently told you about their plans to release a craft beer called (Wait for it) MMMHops but they’re releasing their ninth (!) album this week.

But we have one concern.

Hanson used to look like this:

That picture has Taylor on the left, Isaac on the right and an 11 year old Zac at the front.

But what about now?

How have the lads stood the test of time?

Isaac has shorn his hair and looks very dapper it seems

Little Zac has grown up but still has his long flowing locks intact

And Taylor has grown into the poser of the group it seems.

Look at the cut of him now, having a great time:

In fact we would wager that Taylor is mad for the attention, given this kind of carry on when appearing on the red carpet:

The lads are definitely holding up well, no ravages of child stardom apparent at a glance (Sorry Lindsay Lohan).

With all due respect we will stick to this 90s cheese classic

Are you harbouring a secret Hanson obsession you’d like to elaborate on below? Or were you a proud owner of the Middle of Nowhere album? Why not share some Hanson related memories in the comments.

You’ll never guess what Hanson (!) called their new beer>

On this night in 1997 you were listening to… Hanson>
