Anyway, great night overall. And that was kind of the original conversation, and then, off the back of that, we all really enjoyed each other's company and that just started talking about greatest hits, and new music and touring, which we're going to start doing next year.
The date arena tour is set to kick off in the UK in March , nearly 12 years after the band's debut. While it took the group a few Zoom meetings and some collaborating, when the boys finally reunited at Royal Albert Hall for the cancer benefit, it was as if the group had never left.
It just felt so right to be in the Albert Hall, and hear an audience sing and scream songs like that, and cheer for songs, so it was an amazing night, it really was like the best moment, most emotional night we've ever done in terms of performance.
A post shared by The Wanted thewantedmusic. Today the band have announced a greatest hits album Most Wanted— The Greatest Hits will be released on November 12, that will also feature new music from the group.

The Wanted first discussed getting back together in early to celebrate their 10th anniversary but the global pandemic got in the way. Then came the devastating and shocking news that one of the boys, Tom Parker, had been diagnosed with a brain tumor.
Tom, in his characteristically no-nonsense manner, decided to turn a personal tragedy into something more positive and set out to make a documentary for Channel 4 and Stand Up To Cancer titled Tom Parker — Stand Up To Cancer both to raise awareness of the tell-tale signs of the disease and to explore new treatments and research. Tom made a call, a Zoom call of course, to the other four boys to initially ask them to reunite for the Royal Albert Hall show and then one conversation led to another and The Wanted reunion the fans had been clamoring for was on!
