Jonas Brothers tease a 'year of music' in lengthy statement to fans
Many fans thought it was going to be bad news
It's been a while since we've had new music from Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas - better known as the Jonas Brothers. Their most recent album was 'The Album' released in 2023, and while they have released some collabs this year, it's been nearly two years since their smash hit 'Waffle House'. However, that could all be about to change.
Sharing a lengthy statement on social media, the band initially shocked fans, by just captioning it with a heart emoji, however, fans need not panic. While the statement started as a reflection on the last 20 years as a band, it ended with their plans for 2025, which will include new music, a live concert album, soundtrack and movie!
The band wrote: 'To our incredible fans,
'As a family, we have been reflecting a lot lately. It's been 20 years since we started this journey together. To us, it feels like just yesterday we were loading up our family mini-van with a couple of guitars and copies of 'It's About Time' CDs, en route to an afternoon performance at a local mall to play for anyone who would listen.
'We were chasing our dream to play music and connect with others in a deep way that only music can provide. We were just teenagers. In the years that followed, you've given us a thousand lifetimes of incredible memories. We wake up each day filled with gratitude that you've been on this 20-year journey with us. Together, we have celebrated wins, made mistakes, overcome obstacles, and grieved losses. Put simply: we've all grown up together.'
They continued: 'It's seemingly impossible to put our appreciation into words. None of this would have been possible without you. You've shown up for us. Rooted for us. Encouraged us. And inspired us.
'We've made memories with you at shows, bumped into you on the street, run into you at airports, and read your amazing stories on socials. We treasure our connection with you as much today as we did when we played our first show.'
The statement went on to reveal the band's plans for 2025: 'We are celebrating this wild 20-year journey by doing what we love, and we can't wait to share it with you. 2025 will be a year of music: New Jonas Brothers music. Solo music. A live concert album. And a soundtrack. Nick returns to Broadway this spring for The Last Five Years. And we are nearly wrapped on our holiday movie that we can't wait for you to see this fall.
'Expect a lot more announcements over the coming days and weeks. From the bottom of our hearts: thank you. The best is yet to come.'
The band signed off the statement 'Love Kevin, Joe, and Nick', followed by their signatures.
