Fifth Harmony singer Camila Cabello has quit the group.

In a message via social media, members Ally, Normani, Dinah and Lauren said they had "been informed via her representatives that Camila has decided to leave Fifth Harmony. We wish her well." 

The news came just hours after their final gig of 2016 in Miami. The remaining members state they will continue as a foursome. 

Since forming on the second season of the American version of The X Factor in 2012, Fifth Harmony have released two albums, Reflection in 2015 and 7/27 in 2016; and so far have notched up five UK Top 40 singles. Check out Fifth Harmony's complete Official UK Chart history here

Rumours of Camila's solo career had been circling in recent months, following her collaborations with Shawn Mendes on I Know What You Did Last Summer and Machine Gun Kelly's Bad Things. The latter has already entered the Top 10 in America and is scaling the Official Chart here in the UK.

probs wont. anyway its unlikely they'll hav anymore big hits without her and a couple of the others have done small solo projects b4 so id not be surprised if they break up completely by the end of 2017. ;(

do u hate every upcoming, young female artist these days? u always hate anyone who makes a song bout sexual stuff. if its a man its ok but a females not ok. is that what u think? that's not right. u need to realise that times are changing and not every artist is over an age where theyre married and mature. more songs have inappropriate meaning these days as more young people know more about that stuff so write songs about it. it seems u hate everything. keep ur hate to urself. maybe u don't like it but others like me do

Well the reason why I hate most female artists is because of autotune and songs, yeah, but the men are no better, it's one of the reasons why hip-hop is dumb. Also writing in text speak does not help your case at all, and it seems you're just a music casual who listens to everything in the top 40 and nothing else

oh yes, that's good, I hate Fifth Harmony but to be fair all of them can sing except Camilla. Now at least the bad combination of songs about and nasally vocals can separate. Both will do better.

It's really sad that Camila left Fifth Harmony, but maybe she'll do even better as a solo artist.
