“Firstly I want to wish George the best of luck on the future, and I will miss him!” JJtweeted. “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!”
“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.”
“Obviously you support for George is very close to my heart! I couldn’t be prouder of how he has shown such strength over this recently….” Jaymi wrote on Twitter. “And you have never judged me because of who I choose to love so please show him the same love you showed me !…… Very proud.”
George Shelley has opened up to his fans in a moving new YouTube video.
The 22-year-old Union J singer and I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Outta Here reality star has come out as bisexual.
“I’ve had girlfriends that I’ve loved, and they’ve been amazing periods of my life, but I’ve also had boyfriends, and I just want you to know that whether I decide to be with a girl next, or be with a guy next, that it’s because I love them,” he shared.
George added, “So yeah, there it is. I’ve not changed, I’m still me, I’m still the same person I’ve always been, I’m just becoming a little bit less scared of being myself, and that makes me quite happy.”
