Years & Years "will continue as an Olly solo project", confirm new music coming this spring
Years & Years have announced that they will continue as "an Olly [Alexander] solo project", as well as confirming that new music will be landing this spring.
Years & Years haven't released new music since featuring on Pet Shop Boys' "Dreamland" single in 2019 (aside from covering Pet Shop Boys' "It's A Sin" in January), and today (18 March) the band has shared a statement detailing some changes within the group.
The band write, "This upcoming new album has been an Olly endeavour and we've decided that Years & Years will continue as an Olly solo project. The three of us are still good friends. Mikey will be part of the Y&Y family and play with us live and Emre will focus on being a writer/producer."
After thanking fans for their support over the "years (& years)", Years & Years also confirmed that new music will be landing this spring.
