It has been announced that Keisha, the only original member of the Sugababes has been replaced by Jade Ewan. The Sugababes management were apparently auditioning members and re-recording the album in LA this week behind Keisha’s back.
Keisha Buchanan released this statement via her twitter:
Dear Friends
I’m sad to say that I am no longer apart of the Sugababes. I’ve had a great time and have achieved more then I ever thought I would.
Although it was not my choice to leave, it’s time to enter a new chapter in my life. I have nothing but positive things to say about the girls and I wish them the best of luck. I would like to state that there were no arguments, bullying or anything of the sort that lead to this.
Sometimes a break down in communication and lack of trust can result in many different things. I would also like to point out that I have always supported the girls and they have also supported me. Remember my drunk pictures out with Amelle, supporting her on her success with Tinchy Stryder… Oh the shame… But what a fun night we had.
Now I’m going to take some time to focus on me. I’ve been in this band for 11 years and I have achieved so much. I have a great family and friends who are behind me 100% and at the age of 24, I’m now going out into this world on my own… Although im nervous… I’m still very excited on what lies ahead.
I want to thank the Sugababes fans and my fans for all your support and all who have never judged me, but excepted me for who I am… The feisty, funny, professional, fearless, motor mouth… lol This is not the end… but the beginning!!!!
Thank you always… Keisha xxx
Update;
Former Sugarbabes member Mutya says:
I will say this publicly…shame on Heidi for not following Keisha out. But doesn’t surprise me a bit.
It all started so innocently…a love for music and a dream…look what its become. RIP x
