Little Mix, which consists of Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall, confirmed that they will be taking a break but not "splitting up" after their upcoming tour.
The trio took to Instagram on Thursday, December 2, with the announcement. The post began: "We wanted to let you all know that after the Confetti tour in April/May next year we are going to be taking a break from Little Mix."
They went onto to thank fans for their support on the "wonderful non-stop adventure," over the last 10 years, adding that they would be taking the time to "recharge and work on some other projects."
The group, who won The X-Factor in 2011 as a quartet, went onto achieve success in 2021 as a trio after member Jesy Nelson left the band in December 2020.
Their post continued: "We can't thank you enough for your love and never-ending support since the beginning. We love you all SO much.",
The award-winning pop group ended it by reassuring their fans that they were not splitting up and had plans for more music together, insisting that "Little Mix are here to stay."
Fans are now wondering how to get tickets to the Confetti tour so they can catch the band live one last time before they go on break.
