#YSBnowInvestigates: Is R5 Over?

Here’s what we know…

If you’re in the #R5Family, you’ll probably agree that it’s been a crazy 24 hours.

First, they posted this picture, which seemed to signal goodbye.

It was an odd choice, because their last concert date was over a month ago. Just hours ago, they deleted that photo, along with every single other post!

6. And they all removed R5 from their social media handles.

Based on the above, here’s what we think. [Keep in mind that we haven’t seen the band in several months, so the following is pure conjecture.]

But even back then, they were seasoned musicians and prolific producers and songwriters.

And now, their youngest member is 22 years old.

So no, we do not think R5 is breaking up. They’re simply growing up.

And we predict that tomorrow’s news will not be the end of R5, but the rebirth of the band we’ve grown up with through the years. And we are so ready for it.
