Jesy Nelson leaves Little Mix - "sets an important precedent"

Jesy Nelson left the successful UK girl band Little Mix giving an honest reason - “The truth is recently being in the band has really taken a toll on my mental health. I find the constant pressure of being in a girl group and living up to expectations very hard”. NME praised her announcement saying she "achieved something hugely important. Backed by the unwavering support of her former bandmates, she and the group have set an important precedent where a person’s wellbeing comes ahead of keeping up appearances just to keep the cash flowing".
