After almost six years and minus one Camila Cabello, Fifth Harmony is taking a break.
The remaining four members of the group — Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane, and Lauren Jauregui — took to Instagram Monday morning to announce that they were taking a “hiatus from Fifth Harmony in order to pursue solo endeavors.”
“We are all very excited and grateful to be able to take this time to learn and grow creatively and really find our footing as individuals,” the group wrote in the post. “In doing this we are allowing ourselves to gain new experiences, strengths and perspectives that we can bring back to our Fifth Harmony family.”
While there’s no date for their harmonious (sorry) reunion, there is definitely hope for Harmonizers as nothing is written in stone.
This does make sense, as all five original members auditioned as solo artists for The X Factor back in 2012. During the competition, they were placed together as a group and made it to the finale, finishing in third place.
And then, you know, there was also that time that a fake Camila Cabello was thrown off the stage at the VMAs over the summer:
Even during their prime, multiple members of the group hinted Fifth Harmony was never going to be forever. Lauren even told Seventeen in early 2016, “I don’t see us still doing this, but by then I hoped we’ll have toured the world and won a couple of Grammys for songs we are really passionate about.”
The women still have three upcoming shows scheduled in Florida, Puerto Rico, and Iceland.
…We all saw this coming, no?
