Louise Redknapp warms up ahead of Flackstock Festival<\/h3>\n

Iconic girl group Eternal were reportedly planning\u00a0to reform for a big tour next year, but their plans have been cancelled after a row between Louise Redknapp and Kelle Bryan and their bandmates Easther and Vernie Bennett.<\/p>\n

Louise and Kelle pulled out of the reunion after sisters Easther and Vernie allegedly refused to perform at LGBTQ+ festivals, including Pride.<\/p>\n

The sisters\u00a0reportedly said\u00a0this was because they felt \u201cthe gay community was being\u00a0hijacked\u00a0by the trans community\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A source told The Mirror: \u201cIn June, the girls received an email from Easther and Vernie who refused to play any gay festivals or Pride. They said they\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0support the LGBTQ community now it has an alliance with the trans community, a stance Vernie\u00a0in particular has\u00a0been public about on socials.<\/p>\n

\u201cLouise and Kelle were stunned and pulled out\u00a0immediately\u00a0– Louise’s fan base is 98 percent gay men. She and Kelle believe everyone is welcome to their shows.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0a real shame for their fans who have been waiting such a long time for this moment.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

A representative for Louise confirmed to\u00a0Express.co.uk\u00a0that the 48-year-old had pulled out of the reunion due to being \u201ca huge supporter and ally of the LGBTQ+ community\u201d.<\/p>\n

They also said in a statement that the team behind Eternal are refusing to \u201cwork with artists who share such views about the trans community\u201d.<\/p>\n

They said: \u201cA message was sent to the team putting together the Eternal reunion\u00a0stating\u00a0that if it\u00a0was\u00a0to go ahead, neither Vernie nor Easther would perform at Pride shows or LGBTQ+ festivals. This was because the duo felt that the gay community was being hijacked by the trans community and they do not support this.<\/p>\n

\u201cLouise is a huge supporter and ally of the LGBTQ+ community and both herself and Kelle told the duo they would not work with anyone who held these views, and as such the reunion as a four would not be going ahead.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team behind the proposed Eternal reunion are gay including management,\u00a0PR\u00a0and tour promoter, and absolutely none of them would work with artists who held such views about the trans community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Louise and Kelle have since spoken out on social media, with the former wife of Jamie Redknapp sharing an LGBTQ+ flag with the caption: \u201cAlways and forever.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Kelle wrote in view of her 43.6k followers: \u201cOpportunities to reunite for an Eternal reunion tour with the girls has been discussed many times over the years. As mothers, the right opportunity and timing for all of our schedules have been tricky to arrange.<\/p>\n

A post shared by Kelle Bryan(@kelle.bryan)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe relationship with our fans and the joy of celebrating our success was, and still is, my motivation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMy stance and allegiances have always been that I am an advocate for inclusion and equality for all. Thank you for your continued support over three decades.\u201d<\/p>\n
