…And just like that, a million teen and tween hearts across the globe were broken.
Modern boy band outfit The Wanted, perhaps best known for the hit “Glad You Came,” have announced their next tour will be their last for the foreseeable future.
In a message written to fans posted online earlier today, members of The Wanted broke the news of their decision to take time off by first updating fans on what lies on the immediate horizon: Their 2014 world tour. The guys tell followers they are excited to interact with fans once more, then went on to reveal they have each decided to pursue other interests. The original messages reads:
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 Wanted had a string of hits during their time together, but they could not compete with the rampant popularity of groups like One Direction. Help us wish them a fond farewell by enjoying the video for “Glad You Came” one last time:
