Former Babe to quit music
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 15 October 2010
Former Sugababe Mutya Buena is quitting music, apparently. Some of you might be surprised to hear she was still “in” music, but you’re just cruel.
According to the Daily Star, the one time Babe has enjoyed her time out of the spotlight and has decided she doesn’t want to return to it, so she’s exchanging a life in pop for a life in child psychology, which seems admirable.
She also implies she is dropping her bid to own the Sugababes trademark. As previously reported, after the final original member, Keisha Buchanan, left the girl group last year, Buena applied for ownership of the outfit’s name, something neither Universal Music nor the band’s management had ever got round to doing. Universal were planning on opposing the application.
Says Buena to the Star: “I took up a course in child psychology because it was an interest of mine. I can’t be bothered to argue about the Sugababes, it’s so silly. I’m in two minds about music in general. I love doing it but I’m not sure if I want to carry on”.
Bringing George Michael’s recent woes into the conversation, she continued: “Bless George. He is having a hard time. He only gets caught for these things because he gets followed constantly. I’m enjoying being out of the spotlight, not having people follow me on motorbikes”.
And there was me thinking George getting doped up and then driving into things was where the former Wham star’s problems lay, if only Buena had been on hand in court to explain its all the paps’ fault.
