Hear'Say singer Noel Sullivan issues desperate plea as he says 'we're running out of time' - 23 years since finding fame on Popstars

Noel Sullivan last released a single with the band Hear'Say in 2002, and he's understandably changed a lot in the subsequent 22 years and has other more pressing things on his mind than fame and fortune.

Now aged 44, the Cardiff-born singer recently shared with fans that he's become qualified in scuba diving, and urged his followers to heed a strong warning about the state of the planet.

After completing his PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) in the island of Ko Phangan in Thailand, Noel posted an emotional plea on his Instagram page, along with a carousel of photos from his training. "Performing is beautiful and I’m grateful for all of the things my life has had to offer so far," he began. "But I wanted to understand what it takes to show people what is happening underwater," he continued. "The fragile ecosystems that I’ve been fascinated with since I was a kid are under threat.

And when you see, first hand, it’s unbelievable. We can’t just show the future generations videos of reefs. "Our emerging economies on this planet are so drastically uneducated about how to take care of the very places that sustain them and it’s breaking my heart.
