The singer, 69, explained he came up with his choice after thinking about it for a 'long, long' time and now feels like 'the time to do it'.
Joining host Michael Ball on his BBC Radio 2 show on Sunday, the Eurovision star, 69, revealed: 'I'm going to be leaving, it's for personal reasons. I have decided to go, to leave.
In 2004, a spin-off group of the band as The Fizz was formed after Bobby G, 70, won a court case preventing his former bandmates to perform under the name The Original Bucks Fizz. Joining host Michael Ball on his BBC Radio 2 show on Sunday, the singer revealed: 'I'm going to be leaving, it's for personal reasons. I have decided to go, to leave'
The original group was originally formed solely for the contest and was comprised of vocalists Mike, Bobby G, Cheryl Baker and Jay Aston 'Such sad news that Mike will be leaving the band. He's been such an important part of the Fizz. Cheryl & Jay are fabulous and I wish them the very best of luck but do feel that they need a male voice if they are to continue with the unique Fizz sound Good luck to all 3 of you';
'Sad day but we still has the gigs with Mike this year. Cannot wait… will we be getting a new album at all?; It has been a long long run. I am sad though I completely understand. Sending lots of love '; 'Sad news but the best of luck for the future Mike x; Sad times but thank you for 43 years of music and memories'; 'Oh! Gutted. Wish you all the best Mike'.
Singer Cheryl, 70, revealed in May of last year that she didn't get a single penny - or any perks for that matter, for winning Eurovision with the group in 1981
