X Factor boyband JLS have shocked fans by announcing they are to split after five years together, admitting they ‘don't want to overstay their welcome'.
The foursome – Aston Merrygold, 25, Marvin Humes, 28, Jonathan ‘JB' Gill and Oritse Williams, both 26 – will say goodbye to their devoted fans with a farewell arena tour and insist they will remain friends as they revealed ‘it's just that time'.
‘It's an emotional time. There's no getting away from that. We have been through so much together,' Marvin explained. ‘But we have to be mature and look at this decision as a celebration of what we managed to achieve.'
Admitting they wanted to end on a high, he added: ‘We never wanted to overstay our welcome. We never wanted to be that band where people said, ‘Oh, bloody hell. It's JLS again.
‘We wanted to finish on a high. We're finishing with an arena tour — our third arena tour — and that is a massive achievement,' he continued, adding: ‘The last five or so years have been nothing short of incredible. It has been an incredible journey.'
The boys also released a statement on their official website this morning, signed off with all four of their names.
‘To each and every JLSter, our beloved fans around the world,' the statement began. ‘We wanted to make sure that you heard it from the four of us, that we have decided to bring our time as a band to an end. It has been the most incredible journey over the last 6 years and we have achieved more things than we could have ever dreamed possible.
The lads also revealed they are currently in the studio working on their final album Goodbye: The Greatest Hits, which will also include a brand new single to be revealed later this year.
Their split comes as Marvin prepares to be a dad for the fist time with his The Saturdays wife Rochelle Humes.
They rose to fame on The X Factor in 2008, where they finished in second place behind Alexandra Burke.
