From the New York Daily News:

British boy band The Wanted gave their fans good and bad news on Wednesday.

The Scooter Braun-managed fivesome, which includes standouts Nathan Sykes and Max George, has announced that they will be taking a break in a post on their website.

After announcing the release of “Glow In The Dark,” and saying the new song will be performed during their upcoming Word of Mouth tour, the group also said the tour will be the “last for a while,” in a statement posted to their website.

“Tom, Max, Jay, Siva and Nathan have collectively decided to take time to pursue personal endeavors following the tour’s conclusion” the statement read.

“The band wants to stress to their fans that they will continue on as The Wanted and look forward to many successful projects together in the future. They thank their fans for their continued love and support and look forward to seeing them on tour.”

The band, consisting of Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness, Tom Parker, and Nathan Sykes, gained worldwide fame with dance-pop hits like “Glad You Came” and “All Time Low.” In 2012 they moved to Los Angeles to film E! reality show “The Wanted Life.”

Sykes, 21, has already branched out as a solo act. The singer recorded the ballad “Almost Is Never Enough” with rumored ex-girlfriend Ariana Grande for her 2013 album “Yours Truly.”

Meanwhile George, 25, is known more for his personal life after being linked to Lindsay Lohan, and currently dating model Nina Agdal.
