The convoluted and ever-changing history of the Sugababes has taken another turn, sort of.
Just as the most recent line-up appears to have decided the split that many suspected happened long ago is to be forever – or at least until they get a call from the producers of The Big Reunion a decade from now – the three original ‘babes have announced a tour and forthcoming album.
Siobhan Donaghy, Mutya Bueno and Keisha Buchanan, who left the Sugababes in that order, have reunited as MKS. The trio headlined Diesel’s Reboot party at the Serpentine Gallery in London’s Hyde Park on Monday night (September 16). They performed their latest single, Flatline, as well as signature numbers from their days together as Sugababes, which obviously included Overload, the track that launched them into the limelight as 15 and 16 year-olds.
The girls appeared on BBC Breakfast on Wednesday morning to explain what led to their reportedly “acrimonious” split. Each implied that outside forces conspired to sow seeds of mistrust and, being teenagers, they never understood how to deal with it. Now, the friends who grew up together understand the “business” and call the shots to the extent they cherry-picked the musicians and production team for the album they plan to release next year.
Tickets for their November tour went on sale last Friday (September 13). Tickets are priced £17.50, and £19.50 in London.
