Huge girlband star announces first solo album and tour – and it's VERY soon
AFTER a four-year hiatus, Little Mix singer Jade Thirlwall is heading back on tour without her bandmates as she releases her very own solo album. The 32-year-old is going out on the road for the first time with her debut record "THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY!". 3 3 In just a few months time, fans will get to see the Little Mixer on stage as she tours Dublin, Belfast, Brighton, Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, Birmingham and Newcastle, before finishing at London's prestigious Roundhouse. The UK and Ireland tour will follow the release of her solo album on September 12. Jade said: "This album has been years in the making, so I'm beyond excited that I can finally let everyone know when it's coming out. "I'm very proud of 'THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY!' as a body of work and can't wait to share it with the world. "To be able to perform the album live later this year is also a dream come true. See you all on tour!" A-list stars including RAYE, Mike Sabath, Lostboy, Cirkut and Pablo Bowman have all collaborated with Jade on the album. The recent news follows Jade's Brit Awards triumph where she won best pop act and performed Angel of My Dreams live on stage. She was the last of her Little Mix bandmates to put out material following their hiatus in May 2022 - but it appears it was worth the wait. Alongside her Brits success, Jade has also landed a coveted spot performing at Glastonbury this year. Speaking to People, she said: 'I just knew I wanted to surprise people. I do think I've got quite a chaotic, creative brain, and I only get one shot of doing the debut single. Moment Jade Thirlwall is left speechless by savage The Assembly question 'So why not push the boundaries and do something a bit more out there? I feel like Angel of My Dreams is a perfect introduction into the Jade world. 'I wanted the song to almost sound like a musical masterpiece, and I wanted it to feel relentless. I feel like we nailed the brief, and people are enjoying it. 'I think it's refreshing to have a song out there that doesn't follow the status quo of pop.' Jade's debut has been the most successful of Little Mix, with Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Perrie Edwards struggling with their follow up releases. Leigh-Anne's most recent three singles failed to chart while Perrie's You Go Your Way limped in at number 52. Meanwhile Jesy Nelson - who was first to quit the band - appears to have abandoned hopes of a solo career. She is currently expecting twins with her partner Zion Foster. 3
