LITTLE Mix have pulled the curtain down on their touring firm – and helped themselves to a £10m windfall.
The singers have begun liquidating their Eternal Magic Touring Ltd, which is worth a total of £11.9m.
The company takes in cash from their live music performances.
A firm of liquidators is closing down the firm and after a tax bill of £1.1m and other costs, band members Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards shared the remaining £9.6m.
Books sent to Companies House this month also revealed that they took a total of £5m last year from their other firm Eternal Dance Media Ltd.
The company receives cash from records sales and downloads.
Little Mix are yet to announce a split after they announced their “break” in 2021 after their Confetti tour.
“It’s been 10 amazing years, a wonderful non-stop adventure, and we feel the time is right to take a break so we can recharge and work on some other projects,” the group wrote on Twitter.
They added that this break will be a temporary hiatus and not a breakup.
“We are not splitting up – Little Mix are here to stay,” they told fans.
“We have plans for more music, tours and performances in the future.
“We’ve made so many incredible memories with you all, and we can’t wait to make so many more.”
Little Mix formed in 2011 when they were grouped together on The X Factor.
They were the first band to win the ITV show.
Over the next decade, they released six studio albums, starting with 2012’s DNA, and became one of the world’s best-selling girl groups.
Some of their hit singles include Shout Out to My Ex, Power and Sweet Melody.
