X Factor UK: 5 After Midnight Leaves SYCO

The Urban Pop group 5AM have walked away from Simon Cowell‘s SYCO and bid farewell to its lead singer Kieran Alleyne.

Details on the group’s new moves below..

The trio rose to fame on X Factor UK in 2016 and were soon picked up by SYCO on a label front and the industry power player Ashley Tabor on a managerial tip.

Alas, despite making what sources close to TGJ reveal was half a million pounds for the label by way of their live shows, the group’s failure to rock the charts with their debut single ‘Up In Here’ saw them freed from their contract.

The Sun newspaper broke the story…

Sony and 5AM have decided to part ways,” a source told reveals. “With the arrival of [2017 X Factor winners] Rak-Su, the label felt there wasn’t enough resources to look after them both.

“The band are looking for another label but are deciding whether it is worth staying together or going solo.”

The label confirmed this with…

5 After Midnight and Syco have parted ways. We wish the boys all the success in their future endeavours.

Then, Kieran Alleyne shared this message with the group’s supporters…

2018 (and yes I know I spelt “decision” wrong with my dyslexic self)
