Author: Alex RossPublished 21st Mar 2018

American girl group Fifth Harmony left their fans devastated earlier this week when Normani, Ally Brooke, Lauren Jauregui and Dinah Jane announced they were going on a hiatus after six years together.

And whilst fans across the world tweeted their sadness, singer, songwriter Sam Smith clearly wasn't happy about the group's decision.

Taking to Twitter after hearing the shock news, Sam wrote, 'FIFTH HARMONY!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!', much to the delight of Fifth Harmony fans.

And we have to agree with him! Despite Camila Cabello leaving the group to focus on her solo career in 2016, Fifth Harmony have had some amazing songs such as 'Work From Home' and 'That's My Girl'.

Of course Sam and Fifth Harmony worked together not long ago. They teamed up with James Corden to star in his popular Carpool Karaoke, performing some of their biggest hits.

Check it out below:

After forming on The X Factor USA, Fifth Harmony enjoyed six years together, before releasing the following statement earlier in the week...

'Reflecting on the past six years since we started on X Factor, we've realized just how far we've come and we appreciate everything so much, more now than ever. We've really had one hell of a memorable journey together and can't begin to express our gratitude to y'all for coming along with us on this wild ride!

'After six years going hard, non stop, we also realized that in order to stay authentic to ourselves and to you, we do need to take some time for now to go on a hiatus from Fifth Harmony in order to pursue solo endeavors We are all very excited and grateful to be able to take this time to learn and grow creatively and really find our footing as individuals. In doing this we are allowing ourselves to gain new experiences, strengths and perspectives that we can bring back to our Fifth Harmony family. sic

They then added, 'To our Harmonizers, thank you for everything we have been able to build as Fifth Harmony. With your love and encouragement we will continue to build on ourselves, support one another in everything we do, and keep making you proud, each other proud and ourselves proud.'

Revealing they still plan to perform at the shows they have lined up for later in the year, Fifth Harmony ended the statement by adding, 'We do have some upcoming shows through the end of the year which will still happen as planned, and we can't wait! All our love from the bottom of our hearts, Dinah Jane, Lauren, Normani and Ally xoxoxo.' sic
