The Vamps talk touring, their new single Right Now and having breakfast with Harry Redknapp
THE Vamps fans can breathe a sigh of relief - the boys are back and they are promising to be better than ever.
James McVey, Tristan Evans, Connor Ball and Brad Simpson are getting ready to head out on tour and The Sun Online caught up with them before they hit the road.
It's hard to believe the band only hit the big time five years ago when they unleashed their debut album Meet The Vamps.
Today they release their brand new single Right Now, which sees the boys moving in a different direction and collaborating with Krept & Konan.
Speaking about teaming up with the rappers Brad, 23, told us: "A lot of people are surprised by this collaboration and that just makes it really special for us.
"We met them at a party and we got on really well and we're signed to the same label so it's worked out really well."
He went on: "The song is very special, we've written and produced it ourselves, so it's more nerve wracking than ever.
"It's a really honest portrayal of where we are and the song has come from a very honest part of ourselves."
Tristan, 24, added: "The song has a completely different sound to what people are used to, it's very different, but it's cool different, and it has a different vibe."
The new track will feature on the four-piece's new EP Missing You, which is released on April 19.
The boys will be debuting the single when they hit the road for their Four Corner Tour later this month.
The tour will also see them stop off at the famous O2 in London - which will be their fifth year in a row of performing at the venue.
The first time they ever played there was when they supported Taylor Swift, and as Brad recalls it was a pretty incredible moment: "We were like 16 or 17 when we supported Taylor and to step out on the stage was insane and an amazing thing to be part of."
But now the boys are pros and are promising a big and better tour, as James, 24, explains: "We've been really involved in the production of this tour, and we promise it's going to be incredible."
But he joked: "We haven't start rehearsing yet though! So it could be the worst show ever!"
Not only have the boys enjoyed success in the charts, they've also become popular faces on TV.
In 2016 Brad went looking for love on Celebrity First Dates, and more recently James took part in the latest series of I'm a Celebrity.

During his time in the jungle he became good friends with national treasure Harry Redknapp.
He told us they remained pals since leaving the show: "I saw Harry yesterday, we had some breakfast together and caught up. I love Harry because whenever I ask him what he's doing, he's like 'I don't really know'.
"He's the sort of guy who says yes to everything, he's such a nice guy.
"He's going on tour though soon, so maybe we can do a tour together!"
