Sugababes have opened up about how their career was “sabotaged” by intentional leaks and “illegal trademarking” of their group name.In a new interview with Time Out, the pop trio – consisting of Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhán Donaghy – discussed the obstacles they faced including several people trying to purposely “sabotage” their work.One of these individuals is said to have leaked their album in 2013 while someone else “illegally trademarked” the name Sugababes, “obstructing” the group from using it.“A few people from our past didn’t want [a reunion] to happen unless we were under their wing.
And we would rather burn our bras and run down the street naked on fire [than do that],” Buchanan said.“There was so much manipulation,” the singer recalled. “It would’ve been so easy for us to have thrown our hands up.
But we invested our own money for the last 11 years and really, really fought for it. I’m so proud of us, that we stuck together.
It was incredibly difficult — and we were getting to know each other again at the same time — but it was the making of us as a band.”The trio regained the right to use the group’s name in 2019 and embarked on a successful comeback last year which included a sold-out UK tour, a triumphant Glastonbury appearance and a headline slot at London’s Mighty Hoopla.Sugababes released the leaked album on December 24, 2022 and titled it ‘The Lost Tapes’ as a way of thanking the fans who have supported them throughout the years.A post shared by Sugababes (@sugababes)“This has been a year of incredibly positive moments for us as a band,” the group said in a statement.
