There is more than one artist with this name: a Japanese boy band, a Danish pop group, and an Australian punk band:

1) NEWS is a six-member Japanese boyband, consisting of:
山下智久 (Yamashita Tomohisa - 9th April 1985)
錦戸亮 (Nishikido Ryo - 3rd November 1984)
小山慶一郎 (Koyama Keiichiro - 1st May 1984)
加藤成亮 (Kato Shigeaki - 11th July 1987)
増田貴久 (Masuda Takahisa - 4th July 1986)
手越祐也 (Tegoshi Yuya - 11th November 1987)

Former members:
草野博紀 (Kusano Hironori - 15th February 1988)
内博貴 (Uchi Hiroki - 10th September 1986)

森内貴寛 (Moriuchi Takahiro - 17h April 1988)

Nishikido Ryo and Uchi Hiroki also belong to the group 関ジャニ∞(Kanjani8). Whereas Moriuchi Takahiro left Johnny’s Entertainment and is now ONE OK ROCK’s lead singer.

The group began with nine members in 2003, headed by leader Yamashita Tomohisa. Their first single was a 7-11 limited release, but their official debut single was Kibou ~Yell~, which debuted at #1 on the Oricon weekly charts. Moriuchi Takahiro left just before the release of this, reportedly because of family issues and to concentrate on his studies.

Since the release of Kibou ~Yell~, every NEWS single to date has debuted at #1 on the Oricon weekly charts.

In 2005, Uchi Hiroki was arrested for drunken behavior. As he was under the drinking age of 20 in Japan, he was suspended indefinitely and NEWS continued as a 7 member group. In January 2006, Kusano Hironori was accused of underage drinking and denied the accusation but decided to withdraw out of his own accord.
