JADE hints at Little Mix reunion as she wows at first solo concert at Radio 1's Big Weekend
Jade Thirlwall hinted at a Little Mix reunion while performing the girl group's 2018 hit 'Wasabi' at Radio 1's Big Weekend. The 'Angel of My Dreams' singer played her debut solo show at the youth radio station's annual gathering, which took place at Liverpool's Sefton Park this weekend. As well as doing a medley of their greatest hits - 'Shout Out to My Ex', 'Sweet Melody', 'Woman Like Me' and 'Touch' - earlier in the set on Sunday (25.05.25), while performing 2018's 'Wasabi', JADE switched the lyrics to: "I bet they gonna break up ... It's a hiatus!" The lyric swap suggests the girls - also including Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock - have plans to get back together after going on an indefinite break in 2022. JADE - who has ditched her last name for her solo career - also thanked her bandmates for getting her where she is today. She said: "Guys do you remember I was in a girl band, oh gosh you're still going, I just want to say I love the Little Mix girls with all my heart. "I'm so so grateful to the girls. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here today on my own. So shout out Little Mix!" The set saw JADE deliver the live debut of unreleased solo song 'Plastic Box'. JADE is set to release her debut solo album, 'That's Showbiz Baby!', on September 12. Despite their huge fame and earnings, Little Mix were rocked by Jesy Nelson's decision to quit the group in December 2020. Leigh-Anne previously said the remaining three members of the band secretly sought therapy after Jesy's abrupt exit. She said in her autobiography 'Believe': 'It was a complex and painful thing to come to terms with. We all felt it, that pain and sadness. 'The whole thing felt like a weird break-up, and I wasn't prepared for it."

Pop star Jade felt ‘weight lifted off her shoulders' as she reached major milestone
Pop star Jade has spoken of how hitting a major life milestone helped her to begin opening up about her true feelings. The former Little Mix singer turned solo artist is currently preparing to release her debut album, following the success of singles such as 'Angel of My Dreams' and 'FUFN (F*** You For Now)'. 'Literally the minute I turned 30 it was like a weight lifted off my shoulders and I stopped caring so much about what people think,' she told Puss Puss magazine in a recent interview. 'Which is lucky, because I feel like now I'm on my own, I'll obviously get more scrutiny. There's more of a magnifying glass.' She continued: 'I think people still expect me to look like the 20-year-old girl that I was, but obviously, my body has changed.' Now 32, Jade said she was keen for the album to be released, as it would mean she could start writing new material. 'I wanted this album to literally sound like I'm finding myself again, and I think you can hear that sonically,' she said. 'I wanted the fans to be let in on that experience because that's the truth, that was the process of this album – figuring out what my sound is.' Jade is scheduled to make a number of live appearances this year, including Mighty Hoopla festival in London next month. The Mighty Hoopla announcement arrived shortly after the release of her latest single 'IT Girl', a dance-pop number that she described in an interview with The Independent as ''Angel of My Dreams's c***y little sister'. 'There's still so much that people don't know about me, so I was eager to surprise people, poke the bear a bit,' she said. 'I did feel anxious about pissing people off or any sort of backlash, but I have to write about what my experiences are – I'm not going to sugarcoat it. It is, you know, my reality.' Meanwhile, 'FUFN' was written by Jade with fellow pop breakthrough RAYE and Dave Hamelin, and was first teased during a new Fendi campaign. 'FUFN' is the escalation of an argument we've all had, knowing it's not the end but feeling all the anger in the moment,' she explained. 'It's the channelling of female rage into a badass big pop banger.' Last month, Jade received the Brit Award for Best Pop Act, following a dramatic performance of a medley of her solo singles to date.
