Former Sugababes star Siobhan Donaghy posted a message to fans on her official website on October 11th revealing she’s gotten a new recording deal. “Hello there. First of all I’d like to start by saying that after such a long time without any releases from myself or even having had a deal for what is now over a year and a half, to still see the familiar names, and also some new, popping up on this site showing support is absolutely incredible,” she writes. “Leaving London Records was a mutual decision made by both parties as we had simply come to the end of what was a very happy working relationship between myself and people I would still call friends. It’s a natural progression for artists to move and grow and this is what I have always strived for. Which brings me to my point. On Monday I will sign to Parlophone, part of the EMI group. It is a label I have always admired and am super excited about signing to. I’ve wanted to tell you all for a while, as happy news should be shared, but until I knew everything was 10000% going ahead I thought I’d hold back to save myself from any embarrassment.”

Former Sugababe Siobhan Donaghy has lashed out at former bandmates Keisha Buchanan and Mutya Buena again, The Mirror reports. The solo singer said, “I’m so relieved I’m not in the band any more. It was all hate, hate, hate.” She added, “Nobody got on. It was arguments all the time. They are in it for all the wrong reasons. Just to make a bit of money.”

Siobhan Donaghy has revealed to the Sunday People that she was suicidal when she fled to her grandad’s Co Tyrone home after quitting the hit girlband the Sugababes. “I was so depressed when I left. The rest of the band was so ambitious,” she said. “They wanted to be Destiny’s Child and I was doing it for a bit of a laugh. But that doesn’t mean I did not work hard.” Now she is bouncing back with ‘Overrated’, her first solo single since leaving The Sugababes.
