Little Mix fans are rallying around Jade Thirlwall on social media right now, after the singer broke down crying during a gig in Dalston, London last night (November 13).
Ahead of the release of their fifth album LM5 on November 16, Jade and her bandmates Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson and Leigh-Anne Pinnock played a gig with Apple Music.
During her solo on their song 'Only You' – which includes the lyrics, "Once upon a time we had it all / Somewhere down the line we went and lost it / One brick at a time we watched it fall / I'm broken here tonight and darling, no one else can fix me / Only you, only you" – Jade was overcome with emotion and had to stop singing.
While her band members reached over to offer support, Jade later joked that the crowd had managed to nail the track's ad libs, before commenting that she needed "tissues for her issues".
It's unclear what Jade was crying over, though fans have been speculating about whether it has something to do with her The Struts boyfriend, Jed Elliott.
The pair have been dating since February 2015, and Jade previously told The Mirror making things work long distance is hard.

"We've been together two years but it feels like we've only just started going out because we never see each other," she admitted.
"It's been a bit shit not seeing each other I must admit. We hardly ever see each other as he's signed in the US and I'm always on tour, but we fly to see each other as much as possible."
You got this, Jade.
