Bars and Melody are embarking on a farewell tour after spending a decade as a team. This band, composed of Port Talbot-born Leondre Devries, 23, and Charlie Lenehan, 25, gained popularity after their unforgettable performance in 2014 on Britain's Got Talent , where they belted out Faith Evans' track Hope. Simon Cowell, 64, was so impressed that he activated his golden buzzer, launching the duo straight to the semi-final, where they ended up third, following opera singer Lucy Kay, 35, and musical theatre group Collabro.
On Monday, July 22, the pair broke the news about their farewell tour through a video posted on social media. The caption read: "The FINAL Tour - A celebration to end an ERA. We love you forever.
" In the Instagram clip, Charlie expressed with a sense of gratitude: "It's time for one last adventure together. We want to thank you for all the love and support over the years. You've been the best fans that anyone could ask for.
