Fifth Harmony shared their first picture without Camila Cabello, and they look fabulous
After a difficult end to last year, Fifth Harmony seem to be on top again after the band shared their first picture without Camila Cabello.
It was announced in December 2016 that Cabello had left the band. In a statement, the remaining four members of the group — Lauren Jauregui, Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, and Dinah Jane — said that they had received the news via one of Cabello’s “representatives,” but that they were “excited to announce that we will be moving forward with the four of us.”
“We are four strong, committed women who will continue with Fifth Harmony as well as our solo endeavors,” they said.
Responding to this, Camila Cabello released her own statement, refuting claims that the band weren’t aware that she was unhappy in the group.
“I was shocked to read the statement the Fifth Harmony account posted without my knowing,” she said. “The girls were aware of my feelings through the long, much needed conversations about the future that we had during tour.”

The four members of Fifth Harmony later rejected Camila’s statement, claiming that she had been unresponsive during any form or negotiations to sort out the group’s difficulties.
"After months of rejection from her and her team, these supposed lengthy conversations in fact never happened, although we pleaded, they alleged. “We have tried with exhausted efforts and hearts to keep this group alive as the five of us, and we want it to be very clear that unfortunately those efforts were not mutual.

We have to say, it’s so fantastic to see the four remaining members of Fifth Harmony looking so happy and fantastic together. We can’t imagine how difficult it must be to lose a member of a band, especially one where you’ve been together for over four years and achieved such success with.
Meanwhile, it was reported by Entertainment Weekly that Normani had said that the band were already working on the follow-up to their 2016 album 7/27, with a source confirming that the group were “planning new music together” without Cabello.
We’re just glad that in any way, shape, or form we’re going to be getting new music from Fifth Harmony in the future.
