Little Mix have announced that they’re taking a break from the group so they can “recharge and work on some other projects” – and fans are absolutely heartbroken.

There was widespread shock when Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall announced on social media that they were going on hiatus. The group insisted that they aren’t splitting up, but said the time had come for them to take a break.

“We have plans for more music, tours and performances in the future,” the Little Mix members said in a joint statement. “We’ve made so many incredible memories with you all, and we can’t wait to make so many more.”

The fan reaction on Twitter was instant – dedicated Little Mix listeners rushed to the platform to share their love for the group.
