And finally get ready to wipe those tears away, JLS have announced they are splitting up after five years together. The group, who found fame on The X Factor, will go their separate ways later this year following a farewell tour and greatest hits album.
"It's just that time. We are still best of friends and always will be - but this is the end," Aston said.
"The last five years have been nothing short of incredible," added Marvin.
The boys shot to fame in 2008, when they finished second to Alexandra Burke in the X Factor final.
As the news spread celebs and fans reacted to the announcement.
One Direction member Louis Tomlinson said on Twitter that he was sorry to hear about the end of his fellow boy band. "Sad to hear about JLS. Wish them all the best of luck in what they go on to do," he said.
The Wanted's Nathan Sykes, who's recovering from throat surgery, tweeted: "Sad to hear about JLS. Some of the nicest guys in the business. Good luck to them all in the future!"
Singer Marcus Collins said: "Can't believe it! I'm devastated."
