The band’s remaining members – Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane Hansen and Lauren Jauregui – will continue the group as a foursome. Does this mean there’ll have to be a change of name?

Fifth Harmony has announced that singer Camila Cabello has left the group.

In a message posted on social media and signed by ‘Ally, Normani, Dinah and Lauren,’ the group writes, ‘After four and a half years of being together, we have been informed via her representatives that Camila has decided to leave Fifth Harmony. We wish her well.’

The news came as a surprise as the band had announced plans earlier this month to release a new album, their third.

Formed during the second season of the US version of The X Factor in 2012, the band is best-known for their singles ‘Worth It’ and ‘Work From Home’.
