Touring schedule forces Fifth Harmony star to watch gran's funeral on FaceTime

Fifth Harmony singer Dinah-Jane Hansen has revealed the group's touring schedule meant she was forced to watch her great-grandmother's funeral on FaceTime.

The group have had success with singles like Worth It and Work From Home.

But Dinah-Jane Hansen says, in an interview with Billboard, that she was left feeling "traumatized" to start with by the demands of her role in the world's biggest girl group.

"I love touring, but the schedule traumatized me," she says.

"I was like, 'What kind of job are we doing?'

"I watched my great-grandmother be buried on FaceTime. We're all so family-oriented, and we've all lost people on the road."

Dinah-Jane claims that the support from her bandmates helped her mourn her grandmother.

"What's special is we've got four other girls willing to go through it."

Fifth Harmony are made up of Lauren Jauregui, Ally Brooke Hernandez, Dinah-Jane Hansen, Camila Cabello and Normani Kordei

Fifth Harmony's bond has been noted by Simon Cowell, who first discovered the five-piece on X Factor USA in 2012.

"It was incredible how quickly they jelled, had each other's backs and understood their roles," says Cowell in the same interview. "It was the same with One Direction."

Fifth Harmony's second studio album 24/7 is released on 27 May.

They performed their single Work From Home in Radio 1's Live Lounge last month along with covering Elle King's Ex's & Oh.
