Damage Controversy  Unfortunately I am unable to get a source for the Damage issue and so it keeps getting deleted It DID happen I remember it well Does anyone have any reference from a newspaper or magazine at the time as I am unable to find a websource There was a big hoo haha over it at the time  In  Smash Hits debated whether or not to put the boyband Damage on the front cover of an issue of their publication They felt that as the band were black this may mean that they would suffer a loss of sales for that issue It was mistakenly thought that Smash Hits had never previously had a band with an all black line up on the cover when in fact the likes of Sade Neneh Cherry and Five Star had featured on the front page
