Little Mix Is Taking a Break Starting This Year
Girl group Little Mix first became famous after winning The X Factor in 2011. Last year, they announced that they would be taking a break after their 2022 tour. The group was down to three members after Jesy Nelson left in 2020.
The final show of their Confetti Tour took place May 14 at London’s O2 Arena. The group livestreamed the performance for fans who couldn’t be there in person. Although Little Mix has emphasized that they are not breaking up, some fans are worried this is another One Direction situation.
One Direction, which was also formed on The X Factor, announced a hiatus in 2016 and have not gotten back together since. Interestingly, Perrie Edwards was previously engaged to One Direction member Zayn. They broke up in 2015, shortly before Zayn left One Direction.
