On Saturday, Jade Thirwall smiled brightly as she strolled through Manchester, feeling elated after launching her first album earlier in the week.

The ex-member of Little Mix, now 32 years old, released her new album last Friday, just before her upcoming UK and Ireland solo tour begins in the coming month.

Additionally, Jade performed an unexpected concert in Newcastle to mark the event’s launch, a performance that was so well-received that the authorities had to intervene due to the traffic disorder caused by the large crowd.

While engaged in her ongoing promotion for the album, photos of Jade were captured in Manchester.

On her exit from BBC Studios at Salford’s Media City, she wore a laid-back urban style with athletic accents, after her guest spot on BBC Breakfast.

Jade donned a snug, crimson t-shirt coupled with roomy, belted beige trousers styled like cargo pants, boasting large pockets.

After conversing with hosts Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty, she finished off her ensemble by adding a pair of white sneakers.

Jade’s first album, “That’s Showbiz Baby,” is now available for purchase, boasting popular tunes like “Angel of My Dreams,” “Midnight Cowboy,” “Fantasy,” and “Plastic Box.” These songs were previously released.

The launch occurs prior to her initial solo tour, scheduled to commence in the UK and Ireland from October, covering various locations.

Discussing the album, Jade expressed her enthusiasm, saying, “I’ve been working on this album for quite some time, so I’m absolutely thrilled that it’s finally being released.

I’m incredibly proud of “That’s Showbiz Baby!” as a collection, and I can hardly contain my excitement to unveil it to everyone!

Performing our album live by the end of this year is a long-awaited dream for us! We can’t wait to see you all on tour!

On Thursday, Jade organized an unexpected performance at the Angel of the North in Newcastle to mark the launch of her first album.

As a devoted admirer, I was among the throng of more than 1,000 fans who rushed to witness her live performance, with mere hours’ notice – a testament to her enduring appeal.

In a repurposed food truck parked in a field by the highway, Jade entertained the crowd with five songs while donning a jersey from Newcastle United football club.

Her proud mum Norma could also been seen attending the gig. 

Due to minimal public transportation options, fans decided to park their vehicles along a side road leading to a congested dual carriageway, causing disruption for daily commuters.

Snaps from the event show police vehicles arriving after being called in to manage the disruption.

Regardless of the confusion, it seemed that fans savored their evening, with Jade radiantly appreciating the affection shown towards her.

In the course of her solo journey, Angel Of My Dreams has seen an impressive surge, amassing a total of 215 million streams for her songs thus far.

Currently, Jade has admitted that she fights an ongoing personal challenge each day to resist using Ozempic, a medication, due to her long-standing history with eating disorders.

Talking to The Guardian, she revealed: ‘I have a daily battle with myself not to go on Ozempic. 

I don’t pass judgment on others who do it, but due to my past struggles with eating disorders, I’m unsure about my own limits when it comes to taking something similar.
