Boy band ‘Why Don’t We’ announced a hiatus via social media on Wednesday amid a legal battle with their former management company Signature Entertainment. The band, made up of Daniel Seavey, Zach Herron, Jack Avery, Jonah Marais and Corbyn Besson, also announced that their Good Times Only Tour has been cancelled. 

“Due to unforeseen circumstances related to our ongoing legal battle to emancipate ourselves from the production company we signed with when we started our Why Don’t We journey, we regretfully have to cancel our 2022 Good Times Only Tour,” wrote the group.

“All we ever want to do in our careers is make great music and perform for all you lovely people. In light of this announcement, Why Don’t We is officially going on hiatus.”

“Your love and support means everything to us 5 guys. We love you!” the band said.

Their announcement comes a year after they shared a statement accusing their former manager of “mental, emotional and financial abuse.”

“As many of you are aware, the unfortunate truth of the mental, emotional and financial abuse we have suffered at the hands of our production company has recently come to light,” the group wrote.

“While our initial instinct was to wait for the storm to pass (as we have been conditioned to do), we have matured to the point where we now realize that suffering in silence is no longer an option, it is not healthy for either us or our fans,” the band continued, adding that they had to talk about “verbal abuse, malnourishment and ultimate control” they faced as “young teens” at the “price of success.”
