It's sad news for fans of The Saturdays as it seems like the popular girl group won't be making a comeback anytime soon. While many bands from the 2000s have been reuniting lately, The Saturdays have dashed our hopes of seeing them back together. Sorry, fans of the hitmakers of "Ego," but Frankie Bridge, Una Healy, Rochelle Humes, Mollie King, and Vanessa White won't be going on tour.
The group rose to fame in 2008 with their debut single "If This Is Love," which quickly became a top 10 hit in the UK. Their debut album "Chasing Lights" followed soon after, with more chart-topping tracks like "Up" and "Issues." However, in 2014, the group announced an extended hiatus and has not released any new music since then.
During the filming of the BBC show "The Hit List" with her husband and JLS icon Marvin Humes, Rochelle, now 35, confirmed the sad news of the group's fate. They were in Glasgow, co-hosting the music quiz show when Rochelle said, "I'll be totally honest, it's hard to get the five of us in a room for dinner." She added that their group chat is always filled with suggestions for drinks, but they can never seem to agree on a date that works for everyone. "We were a lot better when one person was in control of our diary," she joked.
JLS, who also rose to fame on The X Factor in 2007, recently reunited and embarked on a tour. During their time in the spotlight, the five-piece had 13 top-10 singles, eight top-five tracks, and a number-one hit. The Saturdays' final album, "Living for the Weekend," was released in 2013, and it included their first UK number one, "What About Us." Although the group never announced an official split, they stopped releasing music after that and have not reunited on stage in over a decade.
Rochelle further added, "Everyone has their own things going on, or they're busy with the kids. Never say never, though. I never want to be the one to disappoint the fans, but I highly doubt a reunion anytime soon." She and Frankie, now 35, have been friends for many years, as they were both part of the band S Club 8, also known as S Club Juniors, in the early 2000s.
Back in 2023, Mollie, now 37, revealed that she would be up for a reunion, just like Girls Aloud had done recently. She told Rolling Stone UK, "I am so excited about Girls Aloud! I'm going to be front row." She then teased, "I'm going to say, never say never!" The Saturdays were known for their bold fashion choices and style, and the members have all discussed the possibility of reuniting, just like Girls Aloud did.
Unfortunately, with all the members being so busy with their individual careers, it seems like mini-reunions, like the one at Rochelle's wedding, might be the only option for now. Frankie also shared the same sentiment in a previous interview with Hello, saying, "We never fell out. We never really officially broke up or anything, so the option has kind of always been there." However, she also added that now might not be the right time for a reunion, especially with Girls Aloud making a comeback.
Una, now 42, also expressed her hopes for a reunion with Bizarre, saying, "I would love to do something with the girls again. I'm ready for it, any time." She further added, "If the phone call came to say, 'You're going back on tour in six months,' I'd be like, 'Yes, absolutely, bring it on.'" So, while fans may have to wait a little longer for a full-blown reunion, it's clear that the members still have love for each other and the group, and there may be a chance for them to come back together in the future.
