All good things….from The Sun:

Aston Merrygold, 25, Marvin Humes, 28, Jonathan “JB” Gill and Oritsé Williams, both 26, agonised for months before deciding to bow out with a farewell tour after five years together.

Emotional Aston told The Sun: “It’s just that time. We are still best of friends and always will be — but this is the end.”

The boyband have come a long way since finishing second to Alexandra Burke on 2008’s X Factor.
They have been showered with awards, flogged 1.5MILLION gig tickets, sold more than 10MILLION records and had FIVE No1 singles — more than any other act from a reality TV talent show.

Marvin, 28, said: “It’s an emotional time. There’s no getting away from that. We have been through so much together.

“But we have to be mature and look at this decision as a celebration of what we managed to achieve.

“We never wanted to overstay our welcome. We never wanted to be that band where people said, ‘Oh, bloody hell. It’s JLS again.’

“We wanted to finish on a high. We’re finishing with an arena tour — our third arena tour — and that is a massive achievement.
