One of the best-selling girl groups of the last decade are finally getting immortalised in wax, fans and visitors will get to visit the group’s figurines this Summer at the famed Madame Tussaud’s attraction.
The ‘Shout Out To My Ex’ singers took to their Instagram account to share the impressive announcement with their fans.
In celebration of the group’s decade long career, London’s Madame Tussauds has decided to welcome the band to their ranks of waxworks. The ‘Black Magic’ singers have been involved throughout the whole process and have invested their time into working with the team of artists to ensure that their likeness is captured. This process has involved requirements such as sittings, where the team took accurate measurements of the group. The band were also involved in picking the perfect aesthetics, this entails picking out styling details and homing the specific elements for the final looks. The group and the team at Madame Tussauds have been working hard on the final product since the beginning of last year, ready for the public later this Summer.
Although the attraction has not revealed further details concerning the announcement, they promise for the unveiling to be pleasing to fans. The figurines are to reflect one of the group’s most famous music videos, the waxworks will immortalise the band’s look and aesthetic at the video’s time. The group’s entry into the attraction will also include all four original members, including Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and ex-member Jessy Nelson. Original member Nelson left the group in December 2020, citing her mental health as the reason for her departure.
Thirwall has spoken on the exciting news of the group’s induction into the famed London attraction. “It’s finally happened, Little Mix is at Madame Tussauds London. We’re absolutely buzzing and it’s the best 10 year anniversary present that we could share with our fans.”
Edwards added to the statement, celebrating the complex work completed by the attraction’s team. “The Madame Tussauds London artists are ridiculously talented. Their work is so intricate. They took pictures and notes of every little detail of us – even down to the shape of my nails!” Pinnock also commented on the band’s excitement. “We can’t wait for our fans to see the figures! We hope they love them as much as we do!”
Madame Tussaud’s general manager Tim Waters also released the following statement concerning the announcement, “Little Mix are without a doubt the biggest girl band on the planet. They’ve had a meteoric rise over the last 10 years and we couldn’t think of a better way to mark this milestone anniversary than by giving the fans what they want – the first-ever Little Mix figures! Our artists have loved working with the band on their likenesses and we can’t wait to welcome Mixers through our doors once the figures have been unveiled this summer.”
The ’DNA’ singers rose to fame in 2011 on the UK talent show, The X factor, where the quartet became the first band to win the show. They were then signed by music mogul Simon Cowell to his record label Syco Music after they were declared winners with their song ‘Cannonball’, a cover of the 2003 Damien Rice single. The group then skyrocketed to success and achieved a series of chart successes and accolades. Their most recent studio album, ‘Confetti’ saw the band perform and release material as a trio, the album sired the hit single ‘Sweet Melody’ which became their fifth number-one single.
The British girl group will join the ranks of many other celebrated artists who have been immortalised in wax including Amy Winehouse, Adele as well as fellow girl group singer Cheryl Cole. More details concerning the waxwork’s new figures can be found on the group’s social media accounts.
