Little Mix performed their final show together last night (April 14) before taking a hiatus to pursue solo careers, and things got very emotional. Bandmates Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock struggled to keep it together in front of their fans during the last performance of their Confetti tour at London's O2 Arena.
The three members of the girl band, who formed on The X Factor in 2011, were in floods of tears and found it difficult to sing in their last gig, which was streamed globally online so fans across the world could tune in.
Perrie Edwards, 28, said she had a “constant lump” in her throat and began crying just minutes into the show.

I need to get my s**t together, I’m so sorry.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.The superstars performed such U2 classics as “With or Without You” and “Angel of Harlem” along with a cover of Ben E. King’s “Stand by Me” — although they changed the lyrics to “Stand by Ukraine.”“President Zelensky invited us to perform in Kyiv as a show of solidarity with the Ukrainian people and so that’s what we’ve come to do,” the band tweeted from its official account in a message signed by Bono and The Edge — who played acoustic guitar for the makeshift subway concert.The U2 frontmen apparently chose to perform in the central Kyiv subway station because Ukraine’s transit stations have become de facto bomb shelters for residents to hide from Russian attacks. Videos on social media captured the moving event in the Eastern European country’s capital city.Bono and The Edge were accompanied for part of the performance by the Ukrainian band Antytila, whose member Taras Topolia joined the country’s military to fight off the Russians and can be seen singing in his military fatigues. Antytila recently collaborated with Ed Sheehan to raise money for the Ukrainian war effort.The U2 performance comes a month after Zelensky made a special address at the Grammys urging US musicians to use their platforms and talents to “tell the truth about” the war.“Fill the silence with your music!” Zelensky said at the time.
