The Wanted have announced they are to split after their next tour.
The British boy band – comprised of Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness, Tom Parker and Nathan Sykes
– have revealed they will be disbanding temporarily to ‘pursue personal
endeavours’ after completing their upcoming ‘Word of Mouth Tour’.
In a statement posted on their website on Wednesday, January 22, 2014, the band said: ‘The
Wanted are pleased to announce the release of their new video and
single ‘Glow In The Dark’ taken from their November release ‘Word of
Mouth’. They are very excited to perform ‘Glow In The Dark’ along with
their smash singles ‘I Found You’, ‘Chasing The Sun’, and ‘Glad You
Came’, amongst others for their fans on their upcoming ‘Word of Mouth
Tour‘.
‘This tour will be their last for a
while as Tom, Max, Jay, Siva and Nathan have collectively decided to
take time to pursue personal endeavours following the tour’s conclusion.
The band wants to stress to their fans that they will continue on as
The Wanted and look forward to many successful projects together in the
future. They thank their fans for their continued love and support and
look forward to seeing them on tour.’
The news follows the group’s decision in
December to cancel all of their European tour dates for 2014 after Max
left their US tour to deal with the death of his grandfather David
George.
The band’s shock announcement has left their fans devastated, with many taking to Twitter to express their disappointment.
User @LauraJane tweeted: ‘I’m so upset right now I don’t know how to feel.’
Poster Camilla (@millaz_) wrote: ‘I
dont know what to say! I don’t know if i believe it really is just a
breake or if it’s a goodbye! (sic)’
Nathan and Siva both took to their own personal Twitter accounts to acknowledge the reaction of their fans.
Siva – who recently got engaged to his girlfriend of six years, Nareesha McCaffrey – posted: ‘We love you guys.’
Nathan simply tweeted: ‘I love you guys.
