Sonique diagnosed with breast cancer

Singer and DJ Sonique has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

The 40-year-old, real name Sonia Clarke, has been admitted to a clinic in Harley Street, central London as a matter of urgency, according to her spokesman.

Stuart Watts confirmed that the star was diagnosed with cancer last Tuesday, while she is expected to remain in hospital until at least this weekend.

Sonique rose to fame with her number one single 'It Feels So Good' in 2000. She previously held a permanent residency at the Manumission nightclub in Ibiza.

The singer was expected to release new single 'World Of Change' next month, however Watts confirmed that plans would depend on her health.
