Jesy Nelson’s vocals on one of the last songs by Little Mix as a quartet were sung by an impersonator, according to a producer for the band. Tré Jean-Marie shared his thoughts on the group’s final single as a group of four, ‘No Time for Tears,’ on Instagram. Jean-Marie revealed that someone else impersonated Nelson on all her backing vocals and one of the leads because she was “over it.” Representatives for the former Little Mix member declined to comment on the revelation.
The information came amid Little Mix’s temporary dissolution following their ‘Confetti’ tour, which ended in 2022.

In 2020, she left the group, citing mental health concerns as the reason for her departure.
Edwards recently discussed her estrangement from Nelson, saying it was “heartbreaking.” Although she has not specified who her new song about past friendships is about, Edwards has admitted to Cosmopolitan that Nelson is her former closest friend, but they haven’t talked or been in contact for a long time.
