All the hard work and dedication that went into making us a success.”To every single fan who came to see us in concert, who listened to our songs and sung their hearts out, sent me messages, and supported me along the way I want you to know I love you all so much and I could never have done this without you and I appreciate it endlessly.”Most of all I want to say thank you to Jade, Perrie, and Leigh-Anne for creating some of the most amazing memories I’ll never forget.
