Your support makes all the difference.Fans of Fifth Harmony have gotten pretty emotional after the group announced a hiatus so the remaining members can pursue their own solo projects.
Following months of speculation, the band posted the news of their split on their social channels on Monday morning saying, "After six years going hard, non stop, we also realised that in order to stay authentic to ourselves and to you, we do need to take some time for now to go on hiatus from Fifth Harmony in order to pursue solo endeavors."
They added that they're "excited and grateful" to "learn and grow creatively and find our footing as individuals."
Fan reactions were strong when the news finally broke.
The hashtag "#ThankyouFifthHarmony" has been trending since the band announced they'd be going their separate ways with fans showing their appreciation for Fifth Harmony's career.
One fan thanked the group for "being the light of our lives," while another thanked them for getting them through the "tough times."
Other people were mourning the loss of the girl group and showing their appreciation for them.
Some fans are already talking about reunion shows saying that "Camila better be a part of it."
Other people were not surprised at all the news was coming - insisting that they saw the signs.
But still, Fifth Harmony fans were affected by the news with one fan saying that it's "one of those moment's you've been 100 per cent expecting yet still dramatically gasp."
The girl group, which formed on The X-Factor, had endured longstanding rumours that a breakup was imminent after Camila Cabello officially left the band in 2016.
The four remaining band members - Lauren Jauregui, Ally Brooke, Dinah Jane and Normani Kordei - continued on, but as members like Jauregui and Kordei released collaborations outside of the group, rumours started to spread.
Fifth Harmony's breakup is almost identical to X-Factor-formed band One Direction's split in 2016.
While the band is going their separate ways, Fifth Harmony reminded fans that they do have shows through the end of 2018, "which will still happen as planned."
