Boy band Big Time Rush get back together after eight years

Big Time Rush, one of 2010s biggest boy bands, is back with a new single, eight years after going their separate ways.

Talking to People, the band described their reunion as “serendipitous”, saying that they had been planning it for about a year and half.

“The universe was telling us, 'Big Time Rush get back together,'” said Henderson.

Schmidt added, “What's different from 10 years ago is that we all have grown individually. We all have different strengths. And now I think that we're much more open to playing off each other's strengths and it's really kind of helped our relationship.”

Big Time Rush also marked their come back with a performance at the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball tour on Monday.
