They have experienced several lineup changes throughout their history, in 2007 they acquired singer Mark Boals, who replaced former vocalist John West. In 2011 after numerous requests from fans and promoters worldwide they decided to reunite with their former vocalist D. C. Cooper for a special tour, covering the first four albums of the band.

The Fifth Element (French: Le Cinquième Élément) is a 1997 English-language French science fiction action film directed and co-written by Luc Besson. It stars Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman and Milla Jovovich. Primarily set in the 23rd century, the film's central plot involves the survival of planet Earth, which becomes the responsibility of Korben Dallas (Willis), a taxicab driver and former special forces major, after a young woman (Jovovich) falls into his cab. Dallas joins forces with her to recover four mystical stones essential for the defence of Earth against an impending attack.
Besson started writing the story that became The Fifth Element when he was 16 years old; he was 38 when the film opened in cinemas. Besson wanted to shoot the film in France, but suitable locations could not be found; filming took place instead in London and Mauritania. Comics writers Jean Giraud and Jean-Claude Mézières, whose comics provided inspiration for parts of the film, were hired for production design. Costume design was by Jean Paul Gaultier.

I'm walking tonight under these blood red stars
They're spreading their light across the sky
We're moving apart me and these blood red stars
It's breaking my heart
I'm wondering why
How could I forget to once again
Raise my glass to you
The land of sorrow
You remember wasted years full of pain
And full of angry tears
Why this tortured soil is still alive
How with all those scars
It keeps on living?
Hopes and dreams are in the dirty
Every soul's been badly hurt
But look up there
Above the wall
Red stars refuse to fall
As they should, Dead cold
I'm walking tonight under these blood red stars
They're spreading their light across the sky
We're moving apart me and these blood red stars
It's breaking my heart
I'm wondering why
Wondering why
Hey, it's all gonna change one day
I'll close my eyes and pray all your pain away
I'm walking tonight under these blood red stars
They're spreading their light across the sky
We're moving apart me and these blood red stars
It's breaking my heart
I'm wondering why
Where bloody stars
