Your support makes all the difference.Last night, will.i.am dropped into the Capital FM studios and revealed some news that will excite his fans: he's reuniting with his former bandmates for a new Black Eyed Peas record.
Chatting to presenter Roman Kemp, the music producer said: "Yeah…so…yes…There will be a Black Eyed Peas reunion."
He went on to reveal his sadness over the fact the collective ever stopped making music.
"It just... it breaks my heart that I even have to say that because really we should just... we should just always have been doing Black Eyed Peas actually. We shouldn't have ever..."
Black Eyed Peas released their first album Elephunk back in 2003 and were one of the leading chart acts of the decade.
Their follow-up albums include Monkey Business and The E.N.D. before they released The Beginning in 2010. It featured hits "The Time (Dirty Bit)" and "Just Can't Get Enough."
The band is comprised of will.i.am, Fergie, apl.de.ap and Taboo. There is no word on when they will drop any new music.
will.i.am is a judge on BBC talent show The Voice which airs its final on BBC1 this weekend (9 April).
