Singer leaves after reports that Amelle Berrabah was the one who'd quit
Monday, 21 September 2009
Keisha Buchanan has quit the Sugababes and Jade Ewen will take her place in the group.
Tabloid reports suggested Amelle Berrabah, 25, was leaving the trio but now Island Records has confirmed that it's Keisha who's gone solo.
'The current line-up of the Sugababes has disbanded,' says the statement.
'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 23 November through Island Records.
'Keisha Buchanan will continue to record for Island Records as a solo artist.'
Last week Amelle sparked fears for her safety when she disappeared after a rumoured bust-up with Keisha.
The star's family reported her missing after she missed a series of gigs with Keisha, 24, and Heidi Range, 26.
Amelle's sister Zakiya blamed her absence on tonsillitis and Keisha denied suggestions she'd been bullying her bandmate.
'I spoke to her on Thursday. She said she'd had a meeting with the girls and sounded quiet and vague about it,' Amelle's pal tells the Mirror. 'She hasn't been herself for the last two months, she's been really depressed.
