Though he refused to be pinned down on a date, the 24-year-old told the : "My album comes out at the end of the year and then I'm going on tour in 2019.
He added: "It's amazing that we're doing our own thing and then, hopefully one day soon, we get back together and have another great time of it, who knows?"
