Sugababes too busy for 'Catfights' tour

Sugababes star Amelle Berrabah has confirmed that the group will be too busy to tour next year.

The singer revealed that she and her fellow bandmates have decided to start work on their seventh studio album rather than going on the road with Catfights and Spotlights, their latest offering.

"Even now, we love what we do, and touring is one of our favourite things in the year, and we look forward to it. We're having a couple of months off next year as well, and we're taking a good year to write the next album, as we just want to concentrate on it," Berrabah told Clickmusic.

She added: "It's sad that we're not doing a tour - I even put forward to do a couple of days or something. It might go ahead, but at the minute it's not looking like it's going to happen."

Keisha Buchanan recently announced that the group will be working on their next album with top US producers.
