August 29, 20159 yr Yeah exactly, plus I can see Harry and Liam probably having some success solo so they'll be happy doing that for a couple of years - and maybe Niall too if Jess Glynne is on board! :heehee:
August 29, 20159 yr I am quite sure they'll reform eventually. The demand will be there for them to reform, unlike the Sugababes who were doomed from the minute Keisha left and therefore no original members were standing. I'm expecting a Girls Aloud style reunion, with a greatest hits and a farewell tour/single.
August 29, 20159 yr Author Hopefully they split up in a better way than Girls Aloud though. No twit longer as split up message but a press conference like Take That in 1996.
August 29, 20159 yr If they end up "doing a Girls Aloud", then I'd like them to announce their intention to split at the very beginning. So it would go like this: - Press conference - announcement about the reunion, new single, GH, reunion tour, and then a permanent split after - Goodbye single premieres and gets released - GH album released for Xmas - Farewell tour throughout the first half of the following year, followed by the split as planned. Then the intention is made clear throughout and none of them lie through their teeth about it "not being the end" or w/e.
October 6, 20159 yr In a recent interview, Liam has said "We could never walk away from anything this good", with Harry adding "We're just not touring next year". This sounds very promising I think, it seems like they're keen to reunite in the not too distant future :D
October 6, 20159 yr Tbh, I think they just need time off, their schedules for the last four years must be horrific for people their age.
October 7, 20159 yr Their schedule has been crazy... it's been literally. Studio Release album Tour album Studio Release album Tour album since 2012.
November 17, 20159 yr Does the hiatus start at Christmas? And does that mean there won't be a third single from the album? Ideally I'd like a third and a fourth.
November 17, 20159 yr Author Apparently the Brits 2016 will be their last performance before the break. They also won't release any solo albums during the break.
November 17, 20159 yr They really did not need to announce anything,they could have released a single from the new album without promo, have the video pre-made before the break. Release a Greatest Hits in November and if they still felt they needed more time they should have waited to announce it then. I honestly believe it will only be a year long break. They are committing career suicide to let the band slip away. That said, if they are happy to leave it all behind and have some normal living it could be for the best, they are still very young, have their lives ahead of them and should be financially secure unless they have very badly invested and wasted their money.

Disagree completely - when they come back the hype will still be there. I think they have left their stamp on popular culture enough that they can survive a 2 year break. The way I see it, is they will probably release another album in Q4 2017. Just look at Bieber, he's taken a good year out of the spotlight, came back and re-invented himself. I must admit I'm surprised that they won't be doing any solo stuff.. by that I'm imagining that they must have signed a new contract as a band with Syco? Guess they will just spend a lot of time writing.
November 17, 20159 yr I can't see them not doing solo stuff in the year off, more to get music out there that represents them completely, rather than that of 5/4 people, and designed to sell vast amounts. But we'll see I guess. I'll be pissed if they don't because some Harry solo material was the only silver lining in the break announcement for me :cry: Whatever they do, I hope they just get a rest, because like y'all have said, from 2012 they have just not stopped. TBH I think they could take a 5 year hiatus, and still be relevant when they came back
November 17, 20159 yr I do want Harry solo music but I'm not too shocked that solo music from them doesn't seem to be on the horizon tbh, they really do need a break! :heehee: The group does seem to be their priority still which is a very good sign.
January 13, 20169 yr Been denied by a spokesperson already. I'd be very shocked if this is actually the end after the fuss they've made denying it...
January 13, 20169 yr To be fair to the guys, they're at a key stage in their life where anyone at that age is finding their feet and making the full transition into adulthood. Your early 20s can be an awkward and emotional time, especially as they've been at this since they were at high school age. I could understand if it did turn out to be the case that it's an "indefinite hiatus" and that they want to move on and do their own things.
January 13, 20169 yr I am confident that they certainly intend to reunite. Whether they actually get round to it remains to be seen. And I'd say that goes for any pop hiatus. Edited January 13, 20169 yr by Slick
January 14, 20169 yr I am confident that they certainly intend to reunite. Whether they actually get round to it remains to be seen. And I'd say that goes for any pop hiatus. Completely agree. I think they'll take a rest, dabble in some solo projects, and then just see what happens after, but i think they certainly intend to. Until it comes in an official statement by them, i refuse to let this news drag me down :lol:
