Hearsay is they're no more

Hearsay have reportedly split, with Danny telling the Sun the public pressure and abuse had become too much as ITV's Popstars The Rivals continues.

As ITV’s Popstars The Rivals hots up, and with the two Pop Idols at number one, word is Hearsay have quit, allegedly because they’re tired of public abuse.

Speaking to the Sun Danny said: "We have had enough. The public make or break you. It started off so big. Everyone knows us - that brought a unique set of pressures. Singing and performing is what it's cracked up to be. But all the other stuff that goes along with it is not so good. Two months ago we were held up by a gunman and the next day people thought we had made it up as a publicity stunt. What kind of people think we would make that up? We were traveling three hours to a roadshow only to get booed. We knew it was time to call it a day. There is nothing in the contract that said we were going to last forever. People move on and their tastes change. We have always been honest with the public so that's why we're being honest about splitting up."

Suzanne added: "You have got to know when to give up. I'm going to miss it, I think we're all going to miss it. We want to go out on a high. We want to go out while we're still on top."
