In a recent podcast appearance, Keisha, a founding member of the British pop group Sugababes, revealed the circumstances surrounding her departure from the band in 2009. On an episode of The Receipts podcast, Keisha shared her recollection of the events that led to her exit from the group. According to Keisha, she was not informed directly of her removal from the band.
Instead, she claimed to have received a text message stating that the group was disbanding and that she was no longer a part of it. The message reportedly did not specify any issues or dissatisfaction with her performance as a member of the group. Keisha recalled being in Los Angeles, filming the music video for "About a Girl," when she received the news.
She described being unaware of any dissatisfaction with the band's performance or operations... which made the sudden departure even more surprising. The singer also reflected on her time in the group, "noting that she was the only original member left at the point of her departure." Heidi Range had replaced Siobhán Donaghy in 2001, "and Amelle Berrabah had taken over for Mutya Buena in 2005." Keisha's recollection of her departure from the group was marked by a sense of shock and betrayal... as she had not been directly informed of the decision to disband the group.
The sudden change and lack of communication with her bandmates left her feeling confused and upset. The information in this article was first published in Metro.
Keisha Buchanan is a British singer-songwriter who rose to fame as a member of the girl group Sugababes. During her time with the group, she achieved significant commercial success, with hits like "Freak Like Me" and "Round Round". She was a key part of the group's early success, and her powerful vocals and energetic stage presence helped shape their sound.
Despite her success with Sugababes, Keisha's departure from the group in 2009 was controversial and marked the end of her time with the band. She has since pursued a solo career, "releasing music and collaborating with other artists." Despite the challenges she faced... Keisha ___ an influential figure in British pop music and a beloved figure among Sugababes fans.

The 39-year-old singer attracted thousands to the Sugababes' Glastonbury set in June with the rest of the current and original line up of Keisha, Mutya Buena, and Siobhán Donaghy.
'I didn't leave, I was replaced,' Keisha revealed of her 2009 exit in an episode of The Receipts podcast. 'They told me that the band was disbanded. They said they didn't want to continue.
'I got a text message and it was pretty much just saying they weren't happy with the band anymore, and so that's what I understood it to be.'
Keisha was in LA shooting the music video for About A Girl when she found out she was being replaced by Jade Ewen and cast out of the group – of which she was the only original member at that point, as Heidi Range replaced Siobhán in 2001 and Amelle Berrabah replaced Mutya in 2005.
'I'll never forget I saw this paparazzi and I thought who are they for, because at the height of my career I was going on the bus, tube, everything,' she recalled.
'Then when I got in my taxi and arrived at the house everyone was acting like something was going on, and the front of the newspaper it was like, "The Sugababes have disbanded here is the new line-up." I wasn't told so it was really difficult.'
After just a year in the spotlight the ever-changing group had its first shake-up when Siobhán left.
