JLS’ Aston Merrygold signs solo record deal

After JLS’ split back in April, singer Aston Merrygold has announced that he has signed a solo record contract with Warner Bros Records.

Aston posted a picture of him signing the deal on Instagram, telling fans, "Someone once told me enjoy every minute of it... I've known this day was coming for over a week and been fine, driven, motivated.. READY to just get working asap!

"I was lucky enough to be apart of what I think is one of the best boy bands this country has ever produced! The best fans, the best team, the best band mates/brothers hands down! But I've had a dream since I was young watching my idols do there thing, there way and how they wanted and I can't believe I get a shot at that.

"I'm going to give you ALL I got! I feel so blessed to be in this position and I'm not going to waste it!!!!!! Get ready it's going to be a bumpy, but fun as hell ride! Ax"
