Sugababe Amelle Berrabah has pulled out of the band's promotional commitments for the next three weeks due to exhaustion.
In a statement on their official website, fellow members Heidi Range and Jade Ewen said: 'It seems that with all the recent events in the band right up to Jade joining us a few weeks ago, the stress over a period of months has unfortunately taken its toll on Amelle and she is now suffering from a severe bout of nervous exhaustion.'
'For the next 3 weeks, Amelle will be staying at a private health clinic in Europe where she will be able to rest and recuperate under expert supervision. Were expecting her to return to work in full health by the beginning of November.'
The pair went on to wish Amelle better and thanked their fans for their understanding and support. Amelle's absence has also led the band to cancel forthcoming appearances in Leeds and Germany.
Sugababes release their new single About A Girl on November 9th and the album Sweet 7 on November 23rd.
