Fans are worried that after the Confetti tour next year, a hiatus is on the way, one of their producers revealed that the girls are working on solo albums, while the girls have assured fans that Little Mix is forever, mixers are currently on edge.

But we believe even if Solo projects are pursued the girls will always give us that Little Mix magic. MAJOR UPDATE- LITTLE MIX announced hiatus last night (December 2nd) on their social platforms that after the Tour, they're taking a break, this was followed by the release of the emotional "Between Us" Official Video. It's been an amazing 10 years. We look forward to their solo efforts.
