In a remarkably candid new interview, Jade Thirlwall has peeled back the curtain on the emotional struggles that ultimately led to Little Mix's decision to take an indefinite break from the music scene. The Geordie singer revealed the trio had been "suffering in silence" during their final years together.
The Breaking Point
Thirlwall confessed that the relentless pressure of maintaining their global success had taken a severe toll on the group's mental health. "We'd reached a point where something had to give," she explained. "The constant touring, recording, and media scrutiny had become overwhelming, and we weren't properly addressing how it was affecting us."
New Beginnings
Despite the challenges, the 31-year-old star is embracing her solo career with renewed energy and creative freedom. She's been working tirelessly in the studio, crafting music that reflects her personal growth and artistic evolution since the group's hiatus began in 2022.
"This new chapter feels incredibly liberating," Thirlwall shared. "I'm exploring sounds and themes that are deeply personal to me, and I can't wait to share what I've been creating."
Little Mix Legacy
The singer was quick to emphasise that the bond between her and bandmates Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock remains unbreakable. "We built something incredible together that changed our lives forever," she said emotionally. "Nothing will ever change the sisterhood we formed."
While fans eagerly await Thirlwall's solo material, she offered a tantalising glimpse of what's to come: "The music feels authentic to who I am now. It's bold, it's personal, and it tells my story."
