29-year-old singer songwriter and frontman of band The Vamps, Bradley Simpson recently opened up about the future of the band, reassuring fans by stating they will get back together.
The ‘Somebody To You’ singer told The Daily Star Column: “James McVey is working on a solo project, Connor Ball is writing a lot, and Tristan Evans has just announced the pregnancy with partner Nikki. There’s a lot of life going on. We’re not putting any pressure on it. It’ll just happen with it happens. I think that’s the best way… Naturally at some point we’ll get back together, end up writing, and if we like it we’ll carry on. We all know it’s always going to be there. Every step of the way it’s always been, we’re friends before bandmates. We have a very special bond… We’re family at this point. I know a lot of other bands who started at a similar time that aren’t as close as we are, and the friendships have just faded away.”
The Vamps formed back in 2012 and quickly became very popular all around the world, collaborating with artists such as Demi Lovato, Shawn Mendes and more. The band took a break back in 2020 with guitarist James McVey stating: “It was getting to a point where it was turning into a conveyer belt. We loved what we were doing but it was about making sure that we weren’t going to burnout. We needed to live a little bit. Last year we had a moment where we wanted to take some time apart just to see what would happen and we naturally gravitated back together, which was nice as I imagine a lot of bands after nine years of touring probably don’t ever come back.”
The band celebrated with an anniversary tour in September 2024 in order to mark their 10th anniversary on tour, having released single ‘Seat At The Table’ over two years ago.
The English band hasn’t released an album since their 2020 release ‘Cherry Blossom’, but the frontman, now embarking on a solo career, has insisted the group haven’t called it quits as he even wrote a song called ‘The Band’s Not Breaking Up’ on his debut solo record ‘The Panic Years’.
