Tonight’s final performance by the X-Factor girls band at O2 is scheduled for May 14, before they go on an indefinite hiatus.

“I responded, “Tough! I stated that I could not miss London’s O2. Can you see? You can imagine it. ‘Don’t worry, doc. “Our crowds will sing every line.”

She cried tears of joy and said: “You are incredible.
“We are truly grateful. We are so grateful to all of you for making this the best ten years in our lives.”
