There's speculation that a group put together by the likes of Simon Cowell on the X Factor USA are reuniting, with the news coming seven years after Fifth Harmony took a hiatus
There is speculation that a group put together on the X Factor are planning to reunite with all but one of its original members. They are said to have "big plans" for next year, which marks a significant anniversary in the band's history.
Fifth Harmony was formed on the X Factor USA in 2012 after Ally Brooke, now 31, Camila Cabello, now 28, Dinah Jane, now 27, Lauren Jauregui, now 28, and Normani, now 28, auditioned as solo artists. The group went on to have success, with them releasing songs like Work From Home.
‌
Camila however left Fifth Harmony in 2016. Her four bandmates then continued as a group following her departure, before announcing two years later that they would be taking an indefinite hiatus to pursue solo projects.
‌
It's now been reported that Ally, Dinah, Lauren and Normani are in talks to reunite. The Hollywood Reporter suggests that the reunion won't include Camila, who has topped the charts with tracks like Havana since leaving the group.
She had released two albums with the group, including their debut Reflection in 2015, and then later 7/27 the following year. Camila however had already left by the time the group's third album Fifth Harmony was released in 2017.
‌
It's reported that the reformed Fifth Harmony have big plans for next year, which marks the 10th anniversary of Camila's departure. It will also have been ten years since 7/27, which included Work from Home, one of their biggest tracks.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, sources have said the group are working on a documentary about their return to the stage. The outlet adds that the potential project would "capture footage on a yet-to-be-announced tour".
The news comes more than seven years on from Ally, Dinah, Lauren and Normani announcing in March 2018 that they would take a break from Fifth Harmony. Like former bandmate Camila, all four of them have released solo music since.
‌
At the time, the four members told fans: "Reflecting on the past six years since we started on X-Factor, we've realised 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 realised 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 endeavours."
‌
The statement continued: "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."
Fifth Harmony concluded by writing at the time: "To our Harmonizers, thank you for everything we have been able to build as Fifth Harmony. With your love and encouragement we will continued to build on ourselves, support one another in everything we do, and keep making you proud, each other proud and ourselves proud. We do have some upcoming shows through the end of the years which will still happen as planned, and we can't wait!"
