London
(ANI):
Heidi
Range
was
the
mastermind
behind
the
events
that
forced
Keisha
Buchanan
to
quit
Sugababes,
it
has
emerged.
It
is
believed
that
Range
plotted
with
Amelle
Berrabah
to
get
the
“headstrong" Buchanan
out
of
the
band
and
rope
in
someone
who
would
help
their
album
sales
in
the
US.
The
Sun
quoted
a
source
as
saying:
"Keisha
clashed
with
Amelle
since
she
joined.
Heidi
did
not
want
to
be
in
a
position
where
a
big
bust-up
might
arise
while
they're
promoting
their
material
Stateside.
So
she
persuaded
management
a
less
headstrong
character
would
be
better
suited
to
the
group."
Although,
the
Sugababes
have
recently
made
a
multi-million
pound
deal
with
Jay-Z's
label
Roc
Nation,
the
decision
to
dump
Buchanan
may
hit
the
band"s
finances
hard.
The
band
has
had
to
book
extra
emergency
recording
time
for
their
new
member
Jade
Ewen,
who
is
re-recording
Buchanan"s
vocals
for
their
album
Sweet
7,
which
slated
for
a
November
23
release.
