Pop group Steps announced on Boxing Day that they have split up so they can all pursue solo careers. A joint statement delivered by group members reads:
After five incredible years, we have decided it’s time to move on to new challenges.
We have always said that when the time came, we would leave as good friends and go out while we were on top, as although we are very sad, that’s what we have done.
We are looking forward to making our next plans but for now we just want to send our heartfelt thanks and love to all the people who have supported us – you truly are the best fans in the world.

i always loves steps
