Nicole Appleton has shared that her son Gene Gallagher encouraged her to return to Appleton alongside her sister Natalie Appleton.
The pair have just released Falling Into You, their first new single in more than 20 years, and Nicole explained that Gene, 24, who she shares with Oasis star Liam Gallagher, played a big part in their decision to revive the project they originally formed after All Saints split in 2001.
The 51 year old singer told Rolling Stone: "I remember one day Gene said to me, 'Mum, why don't you just go back into the studio with Auntie Nat?'"
Natalie, 52, added: "(Our kids) are our harshest critics and if they didn't think it was a good idea, they would have said, 'Nah!'
"They're massive fans and I think they thought we should've maybe thought more of ourselves and they just gave us that little nudge to give it a go."
The sisters said they are excited for Gene and the rest of their family to watch them perform live during shows this summer.
Natalie said: "I think they're going to be very emotional I think."
Nicole echoed: "They'll shed a tear probably."
The duo also shared that their bond is stronger than ever and that they stay in touch every single day.
Natalie said: "We're loving sisters. Every single day we speak."
Nicole added: "Today, we had to get here early so we could talk before this even started even though we spoke this morning on FaceTime for about an hour too.
"We talk in the car on the way home and then we'll FaceTime when we get home again."
Appleton are now considering working on a new album following the response to Falling Into You, although Natalie admitted they had "no plan" and "no expectations" beyond releasing the single.
She explained: "We just had such an incredible reaction to the single and after that we were like, 'We're going to have to do more.' I mean, there's a few we've been working on."
Natalie also said the new record will feel like a "natural progression" from their 2003 album Everything's Eventual.
She said: "It's just always going to have the same vibe. It will be along the same genre of what we've always done."
