Original Sugababes MKS sport revealing suits as they perform first live show together in 12 years

The S clearly stands for sexy! Original Sugababes MKS sport revealing suits as they perform first live show together in 12 years

The original line-up was dismantled back in 2001 when Siobhan Donaghy left the group, followed by Mutya Buena in 2005 and finally Keisha Buchanan in 2007.
But on Thursday evening the Sugababes were back under their new name Mutya Keisha Siobhan, or MKS for short, as they performed their first live show as the original three in 12 years.
Taking to the stage at Scala in London's Kings Cross the group didn’t disappoint as they performed both old and new tracks to the sold out crowd.

And making sure it wasn’t just their vocals which impressed the group also dressed to wow for their comeback gig.
    Keisha looked sophisticated and stylish showing off her legs in a pair of shorts featuring a sheer skirt train.
    She teamed it with a black blazer and cut-out black heels as she owned the stage, looking delighted to be back with her old bandmates.

    Mutya also opted for a sophisticated number wearing a black and grey suit, but adding her own fun twist she wore an extremely low-cut top which showed off her ample cleavage.
    In keeping with their smart look Siobhan wore a black trouser suit with a pair of flat white brogues, creating a 1920s vibe. 
    The group kicked off their performance with Overload, which was their first single and huge hit from 2000.

    They went on to perform six new songs, while they closed the successful show with their new single Flatline. 
    Speaking to Metro following the performance the group said: ‘It was incredible to be able to share our new music with fans at our first full live show.
    ‘Performing our new single Flatline to a sold out crowd was a very special moment!’

    The show came as Jade Ewen, who is part of the current line-up of the Sugababes revealed she was unsure about the future of the band.
    She told Digital Spy: ‘I don't even know if the band stuff is going to happen again, if I'm completely honest. I think Amelle wants to do her own solo stuff, Heidi is doing a Happy Days musical... I think we're pretty much done.
    ‘I'm working on solo material at the moment actually. It's only come about in the past three weeks, so it's quite a new project.

    ‘No one's really seen me yet. I sang for Eurovision, I've been in a band, but I don't think anyone really knows what I'm about.’
    Siobhan left the group in August 2001 during a promotional tour in Japan - less than a year after the release of their first single Overload.
    After being replaced by Liverpudlian Heidi Range, the trio enjoyed huge success, including No.1s around the world and a Brit Award.
    However, Mutya decided to quit the group in December 2005 to spend more time with her daughter.
    Keisha remained with the Sugababes and their new replacement Amelle Berrabah until she was 'forced out' of the group in September 2007.

    James Franco and Sienna Miller took a drive in the BMW i3 at the electric car's launch event in London last night (July 29).

    The Hollywood stars slipped into the front seats of the £25,000 (£38,282) vehicle after officially unveiling it at a party in Old Billingsgate Market on the banks of the Thames.
    The pair cuddled up next to each other and laughed like old friends as they explained the car's features, which include its own bespoke smartphone app and a hi-tech aluminium and carbon fibre plastic chassis.

    She said: "I've been involved in all sorts of different green charities for a decade now, and having had a daughter recently I feel incredibly responsible and we all have to make those choices for the next generation. It's very close to my heart."

    Exclusive: Amelle Berrabah: 'Sugababes will be back next year'

     |  By Robert Copsey  

    Amelle Berrabah has revealed that she believes Sugababes are planning to return next year, despite bandmate Jade Ewen saying that the group were "pretty much done".

    The singer, who is currently working on her solo album, insisted the group are hoping to get back together in late 2014.

    "I'm still in touch with Heidi [Range] and Jade," Berrabah told Digital Spy. "Me and Heidi are really close - we always have been. I'm really happy for her, she's really happy. Same with Jade, she's cool - she's just got back from holiday.

    "We're thinking of getting back together at the end of next year. I'm currently promoting this single now, then my own album. Hopefully after that we can rebuild and see what we're going to do."

    However, the band appear to be in disarray as Ewen recently told DS: "I don't even know if the band stuff is going to happen again, if I'm completely honest.

    "I think Amelle wants to do her own solo stuff, Heidi is doing a Happy Days musical... I think we're pretty much done."

    Berrabah currently features on DJ Adam and the Nightcrashers' new single 'Love Is All We Need', which is out on August 19.

    Too hot to handle! Heidi Range sizzles in

    And the Sugababes beauty will also turn up the heat tonight as she steps into the Celebrity Masterchef kitchen.
    The 30-year-old hit the ITV studios this morning for an appearance on Daybreak, beaming in her polka dot dress and Christian Louboutin skyscrapers.
    Already a reality TV connoisseur, having competed on Dancing On Ice, Heidi will battle the likes of Janet Street Porter, Jo Wood, and Katy Brand in the foodie series.
    Speaking of her penchant for cooking, the Liverpudlian told Sunday Brunch: "My favourite thing to do on a day off is get a recipe book out and try something new.

    "I really enjoy cooking, but it's completely different on Masterchef to being at home.
    "The cameras are so close to you, and you can't refer to a book, or phone your mum.
    "You tend to lose common sense when you're in that situation. Afterwards you think, 'Oh, I would've done that!'"
    She also revealed that host Gregg Wallace is "like a comedian", telling lots of bad gags on and off set.
    Heidi added: "I'm quite OCD and organised, John Torode said to me at one point when I was peeling carrots, 'You're not filing your nails.'"

    MKS: Original Sugababes reunite

    30 July 2013 Last updated at 17:09 BST
    The Sugababes were among the country's most successful girl groups. But over the years the band has seen several changes in its line-up - to confuse even the most diehard fans.
    Now the original members have decided to re-form, but under a new name, MKS.
    Brenda Emmanus met up with Mutya, Keisha and Siobhan.

    Jade Ewen: ‘Sugababes are pretty much done’





    So it looks like there’s just not enough room for two Sugababe groups after all…
    Jade Ewen has admitted that Sugababes are “pretty much done”.
    Jade confessed that she can't see herself ever returning to the studio with Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah, and has been working on solo material.
    "I don't even know if the band stuff is going to happen again, if I'm completely honest.  
    "I think Amelle wants to do her own solo stuff, Heidi is doing a Happy Days musical... I think we're pretty much done.
    "I'm working on solo material at the moment actually. It's only come about in the past three weeks, so it's quite a new project.
    "No-one's really seen me yet. I sang for Eurovision, I've been in a band, but I don't think anyone really knows what I'm about."
    Jade added that she’d like the current Sugababes line up to go on tour with the original band members, Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy, who are now performing as MKS.
    "I would love to do a giant tour of all the Sugababes, old line up and new line up," she said. "That would be awesome, it would sell out.
    "That's easy for me to say though, I don't know how that would go down [with the other girls]. But I'm definitely up for it."

    Jade Ewen: 'Sugababes Are Pretty Much Done'

    Singer says she can't see the girls getting back together...

    09:03, Thursday, 1 August 2013
    Jade Ewen has confirmed that theSugababes are "pretty much done."
     
    Following the return of the original line-up Mutya, Keisha and Siobhan or MKS for short, Ewen has told Digital Spy that she can't see herself reuniting with Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah to record new music.
     
    The star - who has already been working hard on her solo material - told the website: "I don't even know if the band stuff is going to happen again, if I'm completely honest. 
     
     
    "I think Amelle wants to do her own solo stuff, Heidi is doing a Happy Days musical... I think we're pretty much done."
     
    She continued: "I'm working on solo material at the moment actually. It's only come about in the past three weeks, so it's quite a new project.
     
    "No-one's really seen me yet. I sang for Eurovision, I've been in a band, but I don't think anyone really knows what I'm about."
     
     
    Ewen went on to add that she would love the current Sugababes to go on tour with MKS, claiming: "That would be awesome, it would sell out. 
     
    "That's easy for me to say though, I don't know how that would go down [with the other girls]. But I'm definitely up for it."
     
    Earlier this week, MKS told BBC News that they are quite happy to leave the Sugababes name behind them, with Keisha explaining: "We could have had the name if we wanted to go get it I guess, but I don't feel like we needed it.
     

    "There was so much emphasis on the name and we sort of wanted it to be about us."

    ‘Sugababes are done’ reveals Jade Ewen
    It’s a sad day for pop. After much speculation, it has been confirmed that Sugababes, one of the greatest British girl groups, are no more. Jade Ewen, who joined Sugababes in 2010 when Keisha Buchanan was ousted from the group, has confirmed that there will be no new music from the current Sugababes line-up.
    ‘I don’t know if the band stuff is going to happen again, if I’m completely honest. I think we’re pretty much done.’
    Sugababes, who currently consist of Heidi Range, Amelle Berrabah and Ewen, went on hiatus in 2011 after the release of their seventh studio album, Sweet 7.
    Press reaction to Buchanan’s ousting was negative, with many saying that the Sugababes were no more. The reuniting of the original line-up as MKS, who have seen massive press and public interest, seems to have been the final nail in the coffin.
    Ewen confirmed that she is in the early stages of a solo project, picking up from where she left off when she joined the ill-fated group.
    Her début solo single, if we discount her Eurovision entry, ‘My Man’, reached number thirty-five in September 2009.
    Berrabah has also stated that she is set to release solo material for quite sometime, but music is yet to materialise.
    With Mutya Keisha Siobhan performing their first solo gig for the public tonight in London, it seems the perfect time to pass the baton back to the folks who started the brand.
    *Plays Get Sexy*
    RIP Sugababes.
