Leigh-Anne Pinnock hopes for 'impactful' Little Mix reunion
The 33-year-old pop star is currently focused on her solo career after the girl group went on hiatus in 2022 and believes that she and bandmates Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards should wait a while before getting back together.
Speaking on the Hits Radio Breakfast Show on Monday (21.07.25), Leigh-Anne said: "We cannot do this (get back together) for a little while because otherwise it wouldn't be as impactful. Let's enjoy solo man but I do feel that people miss Little Mix.
"What we could do is we could still do our solo stuff, do a little Blackpink, that would be kind of iconic. Or do a show where we all perform our solo stuff, that would be sick."
Leigh-Anne revealed that she would be keen to see British R+B group Honeyz reunite as she loved performing their songs when she was performing in talent shows as a youngster.
Asked which band she wants to get back together, she said: "I used to sing Honeyz for talent shows when I was younger so the Honeyz."
Leigh-Anne has three-year-old twin daughters, whose names she has not made public, with her footballer husband Andre Gray and explained that she has already joined the parents WhatsApp group in preparation for the pair starting school.
The Been a Minute singer said: "The WhatsApp group is already popping off and I'm getting overwhelmed but for them I want to be quite involved and meet the parents and all of that!"
Leigh-Anne previously revealed that she and her Little Mix bandmates considered scrapping their hiatus after enjoying themselves on the Confetti tour but ultimately feels that the trio made the right decision as they concentrate on their solo material.
She said: "The three of us have this genuine sisterhood, and no one else will ever get it.
"In fact, that last tour was so beautiful that there were times when we asked if we should just carry on as Little Mix because it felt so good. I don't think it would have worked at that point in our lives, though."
The Don't Say Love hitmaker was scared about going solo at first but feels that she has proven that she is up to the task of being a standalone artist.
She said: "I believe in my talent. I believe in myself and also, I just love to sing. There's plenty of things I could do. But I know music is where I'm supposed to be. I'm excited to see where it's going to take me next."

Black Sabbath legend and reality star Ozzy Osbourne dies aged 76, family confirms
Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne has died aged 76. The singer of the British heavy metal band died surrounded by loved ones on Tuesday. In a statement which also asked for privacy, his family said: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love." He is survived by his wife Sharon and their five kids. Almost three weeks ago, Osbourne took to the stage for a final concert with Black Sabbath to raise money for Cure Parkinson's, an incurable disease that mainly causes issues with movement, Birmingham Children's Hospital and Acorn Children's Hospice. The band raised about US$190 million, according to reports. Some 40,000 fans attended the show in the British city of Birmingham, while millions of others streamed the concert from across the world. It was the first time the group performed in 20 years. "It's so good to be on this f**king stage, you have no idea. Let the madness begin," Osbourne, who struggles to walk and has suffered other health issues, said at the show. Black Sabbath formed in the 1970s and had a decorated career through the decades which has seen them produce 19 studio albums and sell more than 75 million records. This is a breaking story. More to come.

It might end up being something we have to pick names out of a hat for." However, JoJo herself recently insisted Freddie, Eddy and Teddy are no longer top of her list. She told Capital Buzz: "Absolutely not. I was a bad girl, did some bad things and that includes naming children. "Got a new name for children. And I think it's Silver. Silver Siwa." In February 2024, JoJo claimed she had already got tattoos on her arm "dedicated" to the original names. Speaking to Access Daily, she said: "I actually have two tattoos dedicated to them. "This one is dedicated to my baby girl one day. Her name is Freddie. Then this is dedicated to twin boys Eddy and Teddy." Meanwhile, Chris recently admitted he would "love to marry" JoJo one day, and he's already thought of "scenarios of their wedding day". When it comes to a family he added to The Sun newspaper: "We both want kids. We come from loving families. My mum loves her. "She's my best friend. I love that she's the person I have to do nothing with and still have the best time. That's everything to me."

Pop icon Ed Sheeran announces 'Loop Tour' is set to kick off this summer in Australia
British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has announced he will return to Aussie shores for his all-new 'Loop Tour' in 2026. Sheeran will perform eight massive shows across the first three months of 2026, performing in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. The global superstar will first perform three shows in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch in New Zealand, before crossing the Tasman. It has been two years since Sheeran last visited Australia for his sold-out 'Mathematics' tour, which sold more than 1 million tickets. He played at the MCG twice, breaking the stadium's concert attendance records on both nights. The Loop Tour is set to be present new surprises along with his biggest chart-topping hits. 'Ed's new live show promises to be filled with surprises, new music, as well as his biggest hits,' a statement from promoters Frontier Touring and MG Live said. Sheeran shared the news with Aussies at a virtual press conference on Tuesday at the Lord Dudley Hotel in Sydney's Woollahra. The announcement comes after weeks of speculation of a Down Under tour. Sheeran said on Instagram he is excited to start a brand-new tour. 'New stage, new tricks, new set up, new songs and all the classics added in,' he said. 'We kick it off in Australia and New Zealand in Jan, Feb, March 2026, which is always the best time, I can't wait to be back.' The tour is set to support the 34-year-olds new album, Play, which is expected to be released in September. Sheeran has released a few songs from the upcoming album including Azizam, Sapphire and Old Phone. He said his new album was made as a direct response to the 'darkest period of my life'. 'It's a real rollercoaster of emotions … (and) encapsulates … where I am in life as a human, a partner, a father. The older I get, the more I just want to enjoy things, and savour the moments that are mad and chaotic,' Sheeran said. The songs on Play relate to a dark time when his wife, Cherry Seaborn, was diagnosed with a tumour while with their second child, as well as losing close friends music producer Jamal Edwards and cricket legend Shane Warne. 'I felt like I didn't want to live anymore,' he said at the time on Instagram. 'Those thoughts were bad enough, but shame arrived as their companion. They seemed selfish, especially as a father. I feel really embarrassed about it. 'I was spiralling through fear, depression and anxiety. I felt like I was drowning, head below the surface, looking up, but not being able to break through for air.' Tickets go on sale Tuesday, July 29. Ed Sheeran's Australia & New Zealand 2026 Loop Tour dates New Zealand Friday 16 January at GO Media Stadium in Auckland. Wednesday 21 January at Sky Stadium in Wellington. Saturday 24 January at Apollo Projects Stadium in Christchurch. Australia Saturday 31 January at Optus Stadium in Perth. Friday 13 February at Accor Stadium in Sydney.
