FANS of JLS will be sobbing at their imminent retirement, but there’s still time for a few back flips as the boy band’s farewell tour comes to Bournemouth next week.

Their third UK arena tour arrives at the BIC on Tuesday.

Since JLS came second on X Factor in 2008, they have been one of the most successful acts in the show’s history.

They are the only act from the show to have had five number one singles and over the last five years have sold over six million records.

Last summer they took home their fifth MOBO Award, matching Kanye West’s current record and firmly placing them as one of the UK’s most successful music groups.

Oritsé, Marvin, Aston and JB released new album Evolution, which saw the boys move in a more urban direction.

JLS said of the forthcoming tour: “The past five years have been incredible for us and we can’t wait to headline our third arena tour.

“Our fans are amazing and it’s been wonderful to share this journey with them. We’re really excited to perform tracks off Evolution as well as fan favourites.”
