A HUGE British boyband has revealed that they are reuniting for new music and a tour – after fears that they had split for good.
Fans were worried that pop group The Vamps had gone their separate ways.
The Vamps, consisting of Bradley Simpson, Connor Ball, James Brittain-McVey and Tristan Evans, formed in 2012.
Over the years they've released four studio albums, headlined tours and also won a number of music awards.
But recently many had taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their concern that they were no longer together.
One fan stressed: "I'm starting believing the vamps split and didn't even tell us how am I supposed to pretend their still a band.. not like this I'm sorry obv they're still friends but no music, no tour, hard to believe it wont end like 1D. I've seen this film before and I didn't like the ending."

Another asked: "have the vamps split up."
A third chimed in: "did the vamps split up…10 year old me is devastated genuinely."
"the vamps have split up ??," a fourth added.
However James hit back last month, revealing that there is new music on the way.

He told "We were in the studio in the summer, we're going to be doing some more stuff, we just need to get some vocals done.
"There's no thought process in any of our heads where we're like 'Oh let's leave and pursue the solo stuff'.
"It's been three years since the last Vamps album – three years for other bands is not that long but I feel like The Vamps have done so many albums in such short succession that people kind of presume something is wrong."
He added to the publication: "We've got a big world tour this year that started a year ago, there's going to be more stuff coming, it just takes time to get it right."
Last year James went solo after more than a decade in the group.
He was inspired after he had to have surgery after suffering a haemorrhaged growth on his vocal cords.
This inspired him to write his single Dancing On The Head Of A Needle.
James said: “Around the time that I wrote this song, people who were really close to me were going through things of their own, and because I was so far down this dark road after losing my voice, I was unable to acknowledge that I needed to be there for them.
“It’s a bit like my apology to the people I let down, but also to myself, for not being able to see the warning signs. I was deteriorating into a place that was almost too far down to reach.”
Over the past few years the boys have been focusing on their own things.
"It's really important that for us, there's no personal issues or animosity with anything anyone is doing," James previously told us.
"It's not like a power struggle for musical satisfaction, kudos or credibility.
"There's a strong Vamps strategy and alongside that there will be other things. The last thing we want fans to think is that we are divided and hate each other. It's not like that.
