November 7th 2024.
The popular band Fontaines D.C. recently surprised fans with a special cameo from none other than Jade Thirlwall. The former Little Mix star, now 31, made a brief appearance in the band's hit music video for "Starburster," which became one of the biggest music videos of 2024.
Jade, who had been working on her solo comeback at the time, slyly hinted at her upcoming music by appearing in the video. In an interview with BBC Radio 1, she revealed that the Irish group holds a special place in her heart and she considers them one of the best bands of their generation.
The connection between Jade and Fontaines D.C. actually formed through their music videos, both of which were directed by Aube Perrie. Jade shared that she was actually in the background of "Starburster" when it was released, months before her solo debut. As the lead singer Grian Chatten walks through a set in the video, it turns out that it was actually the rehearsal for Jade's own music video for "Angel of My Dreams."
Jade couldn't help but gush over Fontaines D.C.'s latest album, Romance, which was released to critical acclaim in August 2024. She described them as an incredibly unique and talented group, noting that their live performances are absolutely mind-blowing. Jade was lucky enough to catch their set at Glastonbury 2024, where they closed the Park Stage on Friday night. She predicts that they will only continue to grow in popularity because of their undeniable talent.
It's clear that Fontaines D.C. have a devoted fan in Jade, who proudly proclaims herself a "stan" of the band. She promised to support them as their career continues to blossom. The Dublin-based group has been creating music since 2014, but it was their word-of-mouth success and Grammy nomination in 2021 that really put them on the map.
Jade's cameo in the "Starburster" video may have been brief, but it didn't go unnoticed by fans. She also made a surprise appearance in her boyfriend Jordan Stephens' solo song "Big Bad Mood" in 2022, and in Kamille's music video for "Mirror Mirror" as the "hype girl who brings you out of the dark." Kamille, who has written over 30 songs for Little Mix, considers Jade a dear friend and loves having her in her corner.
Clearly, Jade's love for Fontaines D.C. runs deep and she's happy to support them in any way she can. If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures to share, feel free to get in touch with our entertainment team. We'd love to hear from you.
