Filed under: Anglophilia > Sugababes

After some internal turmoil with the band, Keisha Buchanan is no longer a member of Sugababes and will pursue a solo career.

This is the announcement made on their official website:

The current line-up of the Sugababes has disbanded.

Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah will continue as the Sugababes and will be joined by new member Jade Ewen. They release their album ‘Sweet 7’ on November 23rd through Island Records.

Keisha Buchanan will continue to record for Island Records as a solo artist.

Then, Keisha took to her Twitter to explain the deets in her own words:

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

Well, she couldn't have pissed off the record company because they are still keeping her as a solo artist.

So what went down with her and the other girls to get her kicked out?!

What do U think?

      Geez, these girls are like the British Destiny's Child, the line-up keeps changing! The group is still called Sugababes but it has none of its original members anymore! Weird. Personnally I lost all interest in the band after Mutya Buena left.



    6. 6

      So again, you are never breaking any news…you're just cutting and pasting from their website…or E-News Daily, or "People" etc… Boring.

      This band has had so many line up changes. I'm suprised Keishas the one to go as she co-founded the band when she was 13 and has been in it since then. There were rumours Amelle would be leaving, but glad she hasn't. But none of the ORIGINAL members are left so it feels a bit weird. Keishas well known for being the 'bully' of the band. BUT JADE EWEN?!!? WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING! She was in Eurovision and the violinist hit her on the head for christ sakes! Could have at least got a better replacement.

      how long will they be sitting on the sofa? I'm rushing there now.



    9. 9

      she'll do well solo. she was the best girl in my opinion! BRILLIANT voice! and such star potential.



    10. 10

      NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! NOT KEISHA!!!! :(



    11. 11

      i have no idea who this group or band is???



    12. 12

      sugababes who??? darn… bitchplease…



    13. 13

      I think that by age 24 a person should know how to spell (i.e… it's "accepted" NOT "excepted". Maybe she should have spend a little more time in school.



    14. 14

      The Sugababes without Keisha means they are over. She was the only original member left. At this point Amelie and Heidi should call the band something else if they plan to bring in another member. What the fuck is the point of them going on with the same name when none of the original members are in the picture anymore.

      I wonder if Keisha finally understands how Mutya felt…especially being replaced so quickly!



    15. 15

      Just so weird as none of them are the original girls are left!? This is probably the begining of the end for these girls…



    16. 16

      Re: Race Bannon – surprisingly enough, there is a world outside of america….



    17. 17

      I doubt she got kicked out, she was the only original member.
      That's a shame, she was the only one I really liked. I dont really like the sugababes that much now but when I was a child I did, I think I'd rather they just disbanded altogether than changed the line up.



    18. 18

      Re: dmd856

      I agree she's majorly talented and has an amazing voice but she lacks star quality to me. That, in my oppinion, was always the Sugababes problem from the beginning. They always seemed D list to me. Perhaps that was their charm at first, vocally talented girls who seemed rejects until you heard their strong voice and commanded attention. Unfortunately the power and energy in their music NEVER was captured in their live performances which were so dull they could put a baby to sleep.

      I wonder what makes Keisha think she has a chance at a solo career. Mutya was raved so much and flopped majorly. And Keisha was always much less entertaining than Mutya. I bet the one having the laught now is Siobhan….the first to get booted out and the only to manage a solo career.



    19. 19

      OMG! Like, how are they ever going to survive?



    20. 20

      who?
      doesnt matter
      nobody cares



    21. 21

      Who the hell are they????????????????



    22. 22

      Doesn't this look like a cover for a porno dvd?? Anywho…don't know who they are, so don't really care if the whole band breaks up.



    23. 23

      i honestly wish i were dead, they are my favourite girl group in history, with keisha in the lineup! i will continue to support the sugbabaes and i will also be supporting and showing love for keisha always!!



    24. 24

      mh sugababes… never heard of them before, but they look look trashy along with the name.



    25. 25

      i still hope there album is coming out i'm a huge fan of this group but i'm not to let down by this as long as they can still bring it jade has an excellent voice



    26. 26

      such a shock, thought it was going to be amelle that left with all the rumours.. will wait to see what jade is like with the girls and how she sounds on the new record before i pass judgement.. wonder what is going to happen to her solo album that was due out in a few weeks, scrapped or brought out aswell as this?



    27. 27

      SHIT! this feels like the end of an era . . .
      it feels worse than when mutya left even though mutya was better i always thought keisha would take the band down with her if she ever left :P
      at the end of the day she was probably kicked out by the label because shes a consistent bitch and bully so its her own fault and i hope the band still stay as successful as ever without her :P
      for all the peeps saying about no original members thats true but heidi has been there for all 8 albums except the first so shes more of a sugababe than siobhan was even though i



    28. 28

      ..wasnt she a original member?? u cant kick out original members!!!!



    29. 29

      omg!! that's kind of sad, but i'm kind of excited…keisha was def my least favorite…hopefully the sugababes can have a fresh new image. and i love how NONE of the original membz are left. now heidi is the veteran.



    30. 30

      The Band was perfect with Keisha, Mutya & Heidi… :( :( :(



    31. 31

      Why????? Why replace her with a Eurovision reject? Although Jade has a good voice…still love Amelle though, swicked vocals!!! xx



    32. 32

      Who?



    33. 33

      Noooooo! I'm in shock! I've been a Sugababes fan since the beginning. Good luck with the solo career Keisha! Can't wait to hear the babes' new album Sweet 7. People say its no longer the Sugababes without Keisha, but Heidi has been there for 8 years! She is just as important in the mix. Amelle has been in for 4 years as well. I'm sad :(



    34. 34

      Who? Also.. Who really cares?



    35. 35

      should charge the groups name.. now that ALL of original members are gone!!!!



    36. 36

      Wow!!! All I can say is what backstabbing bitches Heidi + Amelle are!!!! Reports are that they both new that she was gonna be kicked out and were all sweetness + light to Keishas face, whilst auditioning new members + re-recording their album again!!!! What an absolute blow to Keisha this must all be…………………..she must be extreamly dissapointed with Heidi who surely after all these years in Sugarbabes together must have thought a good trustworthy friend. Oh well, Keisha if u are reading this you come out classy and dignified especially as you haven't slagged them off in your interview- they, on the other hand come across as really really two faced girls and unpleasant………. ps. can they really even be called the Sugarbabes anymore it's a bit of a joke to be honest lol!



    37. 37

      Fucking hell, you're only like TWO days late with this news. YAAAAWN! You're losing it Mario, face it!



    38. 38

      Who?? Man this site is getting boring. Starting to wonder why I bother really…



    39. 39

      Is there a list after Z?



    40. 40

      So no original members left? Nice!



    41. 41

      I still love the Sugababes, but the group won't be the same without Keisha. I also like Mutya's ghetto homegirl-ish persona in the group too. I do love the song "Get Sexy". If anyone wants to hear their music, their best album is "Taller In More Ways".



    42. 42

      I Have no idea who they are… What a shame they were a gorgeous trio.



    43. 43

      typical…..nigs causing trouble.



    44. 44

      Who and why do we care?



    45. 45

      Re: Charlie1992 – Uh yeah, I am aware of that since I live OUTSIDE the United States asshole! Just because I have no idea who some trashy all girl pop band is, doesn't mean I am lacking in intelligence or worldy sophistication. Perhaps it means I have decent taste in music! JERK!



    46. 46

      WHO? Whatever, Perez…



    47. 47

      If nothing's wrong, why's she leaving when it's not even her decision?
      This doesn't make sense lol.



    48. 48

      Re: Sportyraven – Siobhan has had 2 flops as a solo artist. Couldn't make it on her own.



    49. 49

      I'm glad she is gone. She was a control freak and needed to go. Jade has a better voice and this is a new era for the group as they are on a new label now. I'm excited.



    50. 50

      Re: Race Bannon – Why are you using Americanisms then?



    51. 51

      …so then she walked into oblivion…



    52. 52

      no freaking original members!!! wth then they shouldnt be given the honour of being called the sugababes right..uggh. wtf. she cant be like kicked out or whatever cause shes the one w the most "power" or say.



    53. 53

      First off… the Sugababes would have been nothing without Keisha. She is an amazingly talented young lady, and now at 24…she is going to have the world at her fingertips. The only thing those girls were doing for her was holding her back. Amelie and Heidie are a joke. I cannot even believe they think they have a chance at succeeding without Keisha. Its funny because she is the only one who knows how to write, and really the strongest member without a doubt. They are going to crash and burn…and deservingly so. What backstabbing bitches to put such a wonderful woman through such pain…only because they are jealous of her and little insecure brats…couldnt handle Keisha because she was too much of a threat. How pathetic that Amelie had to be a pathological liar-like her sister. And Heidi has no back bone. Both fake…and both have not even a fraction of the class that Keisha has. What goes around comes around girls.



    54. 54

      Who? What the hell? Who?



    55. 55

      BRING BACK MUTYA BUENA!!!!



    56. 56

      love the sugababes.
      K was the last original s.babe
      this band has had nothing but fights



    57. 57

      their lineup changes so often im sure nobody cares anymore



    58. 58

      WHO?????????????



    59. 59

      KEISHA SHOULD STAY! SHES GOT THE BEST VOICE!



    60. 60

      sorry if im double posting by accident…

      Keisha should STAY she has the BEST voice and is the ONLY original member used to love the sugababes btu they have gone down hill recently and this will just make it worse.



    61. 61

      Wish the pikey one went… She's such a dog.



    62. 62

      jade ewen is awesome, i love her new song! im so happy shes joined the sugababes!



    63. 63

      oh hell :( let's see how this goes…
      the sugababes have been my fav girlgroup for quite some time but i clearly lost interest after mutya left - didn't quite feel the next album & decided against buying it. so keisha leaving is just another step down in my eyes.
      as i'm from germany, i might not get as much press on the babes like folks in the u.k., but the original sugababes-feeling is definitely lost on me since mutya, even though i like heidi quite a lot.



    64. 64

      they are no more sugarbabes….she was the only original one left….why they do nota change the name…singer=picture card??????

    65. DavHa says – reply to this


      65

      Wow there goes all the original members…

      For the not-knowers the original line-up of the sugababes in 2000 was probably the best girl group UK has ever known musically, teen girls with wisdom and senses far beyond their ages, smart urban music with an indie touch. They haven't stopped going down since that



    66. 66

      All I can say is that this chick is 24 and had been in this band for 11 years???? WTF??? WHO are they is what I am really wondering. Never heard of them before so I'm not that disappointed. Lol…



    67. 67

      whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy keisha ahhhhh

    68. h311o says – reply to this

      Erm…Keisha was the only original Sugababe left in the trainwreck of a line up. First Siobhan left after Overload (their best), so they brought along Heidi (who I think is the problem not Keisha) then Mutya called it a day to follow a pretty unpromoted solo career. She ended up on Celeb Big Brother and lost to Verne Troyer (whose crash into the diary room door was classical BB). Keisha replaces Mutya with Rhianna wannabe Amelle who went ahead with a 'solo' career before head honcho Keisha. Amelle had it coming but to fully stick the knife in, Keisha would do well to reform the original lineup with Mutya and Siobhan and start again. They're the original Sugababes not these new sexed up whores.
