Nathan Sykes pulls a fan into a hug outside his hotel on Wednesday afternoon (March 30) in Dublin, Ireland.
The 22-year-old singer chatted with fans after picking up a warm cup of coffee ahead of his concert on the Get Weird tour with Little Mix.
Speaking with Digital Spy recently, Nathan opened up about the dim future of Union J after George Shelley left the band.
“I don’t think it’ll work,” he shared. “George was a really strong part of the band. When a band has a lot of success with a certain amount of members, to suddenly introduce another is just a bit strange.”
JJJ Note: As of this moment, the band isn’t replacing George at all. They will remain a trio until the band makes an announcement.
JJ Hamblett looks pretty dapper while heading out to dinner on Saturday night (March 12) in London, England.
The 27-year-old Union J member walked hand-in-hand alongside his model girlfriend Caterina Lopez.
It was recently announced that his band mate George Shelley left the group.
“Firstly I want to wish George the best of luck on the future, and I will miss him!” JJ tweeted. “Although George decided he no longer wanted to be a part of Union J‘s journey, as a 3 we feel we are just getting started and owe it all to you guys to continue and want to continue, I promise you of this!”
It’s official — George Shelley has officially left Union J.
The remaining members of the band — JJ Hamblett, Josh Cuthbert and Jaymi Hensley — all released a statement on the band’s Instagram about the split.
“In 2012, we started something that has been the centre of our lives ever since, a band and project that is now family to us - Union J. Through two incredible albums, successful tours and a lot of fun along the way, the fours of us have all enjoyed this incredible journey. But with time, comes change and difference of aspirations,” they wrote.
The band added, “So, as we prepare to go back into the studio to work on new material, George will not be be continuing on this journey with us. George will now be following his own path and career no longer a part of Union J. This is a mutual decision between the four of us, and we will always remain close.”
