Little Mix still has big future
MOTHERHOOD and an imminent Best Of collection doesn’t spell the end for Little Mix.
Far from it predicts Jade Thirlwall, who has assured fans that they are going nowhere and are still “loving every minute” of being in the band.
Jade explained: “We’ve managed to evolve over the years and adapt to the industry changes. I think that’s been one of our strong points; still being Little Mix and still having that fun and an empowering sound but we’ve changed with each era and we’ve stood the test of time.
“Even now, we still message each other and we’re like: ‘Wow, people are still really into Little Mix!’ We don’t take that for granted, I’m still loving every minute of it.”
Happy
Jade is now the only member of the band without a baby, but she’s happy being a Little Mix auntie: “They’re like babies to me so the fact that they’re having babies it’s a lot for me to comprehend, it’s very strange for me because they’re on maternity leave at the minute and I’m womanning the fort!
“It feels weird doing it all on my own for a bit, I’m very happy to do it for the girls because they’ve worked so hard, God bless them, all the way to the end of their pregnancies. We were shooting music videos, doing promo, they’ve definitely grafted.”
After a decade in the business Jade never gets fully used to fame: “Needless to say I think when you’re famous some people don’t see you as a real human any more so they think it’s acceptable to do things like grab your arm or feel like they own a part of you or that they’re entitled to be in your personal space because you’ve asked for it.
“I always find that quite strange to be honest. I still get a bit of anxiety.”
