Blue have announced their first album in seven years, titled 'Heart and Soul." This good news however, is mixed with some bad news - they have to delay their comeback tour.
The boy band, which consisted of Lee Ryan, Duncan James, Simon Webbe, and Antony Costa, was set to go on the "Heart and Soul Tour" in September, alongside Atomic Kitten, according to their official website.
The reunion gigs will honor 20 years since the release of their chart-topping debut album, "All Rise," which peaked at No. 1 in 2001.
However, due to "some very exciting plans that will be unveiled in due course," they have been forced to move the dates back a few months, to the beginning of December.
The special guests for the new dates will be announced at a later date, and all existing tickets will be honored.
The tour will now begin on December 4 at Cardiff's Motorpoint Arena and conclude on December 20 at Newcastle's Utilita Arena, as previously announced.
The "Breathe Easy" hitmakers, on the other hand, have revealed that their first studio album since 2015's "Colours" will be released on September 9.
An announcement on the band's official website revealed that they "have been back together in the studio working on one of their best records yet."

Earlier this year, Simon, 43, stated that he and his bandmates had returned to the studio.
At the time, Lee, 38, was starring in 'EastEnders,' Duncan, 44, was starring in 'Hollyoaks,' and Antony, 40, was starring in an Agatha Christie play, so the lads only had a limited amount of time to devote to the new songs. They have certainly branched out from their bands to be celebrities in their own right.
"We're in the studio. We did the Sunshine Festival in Worcester. We're going to Latvia tomorrow. We're constantly working, at least two or three times a month," he said at the time.
