Tulisa reunites with N-Dubz bandmates after 11-year hiatus
Tulisa has reunited with her N-Dubz bandmates after an 11-year hiatus.
The former X Factor judge, her cousin Dappy and their childhood friend Fazer announced their reunion on social media on Monday by sharing a trailer for their upcoming single Charmer, which will be released on Thursday.
The clip shows a helicopter flying over London before landing on an airfield. The music begins playing as the trio exit the helicopter and the teaser cuts before they start singing.
As well as the new single, the band also announced a reunion tour in November. Their 10-date trek, which will feature Love Island star-turned-singer Wes Nelson as their support, will kick off in Newcastle on 7 November and conclude in Manchester on 19 November.
Responding to their fans' reaction to the announcement, Tulisa wrote on her Instagram Stories, "I just wanna say thank you to all the ndubz fans & supporters. The love & support after so long to be even stronger then it was before means everything to us (sic).
"Every song & show we do we share a little piece of our hearts. & the extent of the love you give us in return is Unfathomable. It may sound far fetched but to us it's feels like we're apart of one big crazy family. We love you guys, we got you, and thank you for always having us (sic)."
N-Dubz, who released three albums between 2008 and 2010, announced they were going on a brief hiatus to pursue solo careers in 2011. The break was originally intended to be for a few years, during which Tulisa judged The X Factor and released her 2012 solo album, The Female Boss.
