Why Maroon tho? Out of the colours in the world, maroon? But it's not my place to say anything about the awesome group!

1) They were originally called Kara's Flowers. (Dafuq?)

2) The band have been together since 1994.

3) Maroon 5 have been nominated for eleven Grammy Awards, and have picked up three.

4) Bassist Mickey Madden is a vegan.

5) In July 2014, Adam married model Behati Prinsloo.

6) Maroon 5 didn't get to number one in the UK until 2012, with Wiz Khalifa collaboration "Payphone".

7) Band frontman Adam Levine has been a coach on The Voice since 2011.

8) In 2008, the band collaborated with Rihanna on single "If I Never See Your Face Again".

9) Lead singer Adam Levine made his acting debut in the 2012 season of "American Horror Story".

10) Only the band members of Maroon 5 (and Billy Joel) know the reason behind the name Maroon 5. Adam Levine said it's such a horrendous tale that shrouding it in mystery makes it a better story than the actual story. He did, however, reveal the secret to legendary singer Billy Joel who, upon meeting Levine, asked where the name came from. Levine said he folded and told Joel because the singer is one of his musical heroes. *goddammit*
