Range comments on Sugababes split

By | Published on Friday 25 September 2009

I reckon there’s probably another week of news to be had out of this Sugababes split, so if you’re bored of it already, prepare to have your tolerance for tedium truly tested.

The group’s now longest-standing member, Heidi Range has given The Mirror her take on the split, saying: “It suddenly came to a head last week. Me and Amelle knew we couldn’t move forward the way it was. We couldn’t work together any more. But we did not want to throw away what we had achieved and split up. None of us was happy. We had to make a decision. Things have not been good for a few months”.

Asked if rumours that departing member Keisha Buchanan had been bullying bandmate Amelle Berrabah were true, Range said: “I’m not going to say anything bad about Keisha. I’m not going to start telling tales because I have too much respect”.

However, she did say that the new line-up were planning to adopt a new approach to their relationship: “We’ve said that if there are any problems, we will talk about it like adults and get over it”.

I’m still not convinced that the ‘Keisha was pushed out by the other two’ thing is exactly what happened. But, hey, if that’s the story they’re all sticking to, who am I to argue?
