B*witched singer speaks about split trauma

Former B*witched singer Keavy Lynch has admitted that she contemplated suicide after the group were dropped by their record label and forced to split.

Keavy, twin sister Edele, Sinead O'Carroll and Lindsay Aramou had successful hits including C'est La Vie, Rollercoaster and Blame It On The Weatherman during their time in the girl group, but Sony Music decided to drop them in 2002 when sales began to fall.

"I went through severe depression. For the first two years I just sat on my sofa and cried nearly every day," Keavy told the Daily Star Sunday. "I had no motivation and just felt awful about the whole thing. A lot of days I literally didn't want to get out of bed.

"Up until last year I was really messed up. I didn't like myself. I didn't know who I was and I just could not get to grips with myself. It was horrible. I thought about ending it all. But I would never do that to my family and friends."
