The Jonas Brothers are reportedly set to reunite, six years after their split.

The Sun reports that the siblings are planning new music and a documentary, secretly flying to London last week to plan their comeback.

A source said: “This is going to be one of the biggest music reunions in years. It’s no secret that things weren’t great by the end of the Jonas Brothers, but blood is thicker than water and they’ve healed their rift in the years since the split.”

“After enjoying solo music success and taking time to work on passion projects, they feel that now is the right time to get back together.”

The band originally formed in 2005, before gaining popularity through their appearances in the Disney TV films Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. They’ve sold over 17m albums worldwide.

Their split came after a planned tour in October 2013 was cancelled days before it was set to start, with reports that the trio faced “a deep rift” and “a big disagreement over their music direction”.

By the end of the month, the band had announced their split, axing the release of their planned fifth studio album and releasing a collection of live tracks and new songs as a farewell to fans.

Each of the members has established their own solo career in the following years: Nick released two solo albums and launched an acting career, starring in 2017’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle; Joe formed the band DNCE; and Kevin became an entrepreneur and was a contestant on the final series of Celebrity Apprentice.
