Normani Reveals Her Parents Began Cancer Treatment as She Was Starting Her Solo Music Career

The singer recently announced her long-awaited debut album six years after Fifth Harmony began an indefinite hiatus.

It's been nearly six years since Normani and her Fifth Harmony group members -- originally comprised of Lauren Jauregui, Dinah Jane, Camila Cabello, and Ally Brooke -- announced they were going on an indefinite hiatus to "purse solo endeavors" back in March 2018. While the long wait for her debut album made Normani the subject of many memes, the delay came amid personal burdens for the singer. The singer shares that her parents' cancer diagnoses forced her to think about her own purpose as an artist, allowing her to gain perspective on how she wanted to move forward in the future.
