JADE THIRWALL'S SOLO JOURNEY HEATS UP!

The highly anticipated debut album of former Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall has finally dropped, and the singer is beaming with excitement as she embarks on her solo tour next month. This week's release of "That's Showbiz Baby" marks a major milestone in Jade's career, featuring some of her previously released singles, including the chart-topping "Angel Of My Dreams", which has already racked up an impressive 215 million streams.

The 32-year-old songstress is no stranger to the music industry, having been part of one of the most popular girl groups in recent history. However, with this latest venture, Jade is determined to make her mark as a solo artist. "This album has been years in the making," she revealed in an interview. "I'm beyond excited that it's coming out. I'm very proud of 'THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY!' as a body of work and can't wait to share it with the world."

To celebrate the release, Jade surprised her fans by holding an impromptu gig at the Angel of the North in Newcastle on Thursday evening. The event was shrouded in secrecy, with fans given only hours' notice before the show. Despite the short notice, over 1,000 supporters flocked to the location, parking their cars just off a slip road to a busy dual carriageway.

The resulting chaos caused traffic mayhem for commuters, prompting police to arrive on the scene to manage the situation. However, it was clear that Jade's fans were undeterred by the disruption. Snaps from the event show Jade beaming with joy as she performed five tracks inside a converted metal food truck, while her proud mum Norma looked on.

As the spotlight shines brightly on Jade's solo career, fans are eager to see what's next for the talented singer-songwriter. Her UK and Ireland tour is set to kick off in October, with dates already filling up quickly. When asked about the tour, Jade gushed: "To be able to perform the album live later this year is also a dream come true."

But it's not just Jade's music that has been making headlines lately. In an exclusive interview with The Scholarly Note, the singer opened up about her ongoing battle with eating disorders, revealing a candid and unflinching look at her personal struggles.

"I have a daily battle with myself not to go on Ozempic," she revealed, speaking about the weight loss medication that has been in the headlines of late. "I don't judge people that do, but because I have a history of eating disorders, I don't know where taking something like that would end for me."

The interview marks a raw and honest glimpse into Jade's personal life, as she speaks candidly about her ongoing struggles with body image and self-acceptance. As she embarks on this new chapter in her career, fans are left wondering what the future holds for this talented young singer.
