JADE says a Little Mix reunion WILL happen
She's also open to doing collabs with the girls
For more than 10 years the charts were dominated by Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jesy Nelson, known collectively as Little Mix. However after Jesy left in 2020, and the remaining trio started an indefinite hiatus two years later, fans have been calling for a reunion.
It's now been more than two years since Little Mix started their hiatus, and all three members have released their own solo music. However as JADE, who has now released her debut song 'Angel of My Dreams' explains, she is definitely up for collaborating with her former bandmates, and potentially even having the long sought-after reunion.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, JADE said she was open to collaborating: "I'd never close that door, I think what we had was so special. I'm sure there will be a reunion, at some point in our lives."
The singer went on to tease: "Maybe we'll finally do a North American tour when the reunion comes round."
During the interview, JADE also said how proud she was of the other girls, explaining it's all about "women supporting women".
JADE has received support from her former bandmates, with Jesy saying her new song was a 'vibe', and Perrie, who stopped her own promo so 'Angel of My Dreams' could have its moment.
"Why not be supportive of each other?" JADE explained. "I know how hard all of us have worked and I think it's incredible that we're all very different as well like, there's no need to compare us as artists.
"I think women supporting women is always the vibe, so I'm really proud of the girls, I'm really proud of what they've achieved, and yeah, we'll always support each other no matter what."
All current and former members of Little Mix have released solo music now. JADE was the last of the group to release music, following Perrie who has now released two solo songs, 'Forget About Us', and 'Tears', and Leigh-Anne who has released several songs including an EP called 'No Hard Feelings'. Former member Jesy released her first solo music called 'Boyz' back in 2021.
Will there be a Little Mix reunion?
No Little Mix reunion has been confirmed yet, however as mentioned above, JADE said she would be up for a reunion at some point.
You can hear songs by Little Mix, and the individual members on Cool FM.
