Sugababes star considered suicide

Sugababes star Keisha Buchanan has admitted that she considered suicide at the age of 17.

Despite finding success with the girl band, the singer suffered from depression because she was being treated poorly by her friends.

"I thought about ending it all, that's how bad things were for me. It was a really difficult time and I was so, so depressed," Keisha told The Mirror.

"I went through a really bad patch when I was around 17. A lot of my friends were just incredibly mean to me and I was really depressed. I always invited my friends to the shows but they never came and they never invited me out.

"It was a difficult time. My parents would say I should go out on a Friday night but I didn't have anyone to go out with. I had everything I wanted but not happiness. I wanted to fall asleep and not wake up."

She added: "I've got a great circle of friends now. It's been hard but I'm through the worst."

The band's new single 'About You Now' is available for download now.
