The singer, whose full name is Manon Bannerman, will step back from group activities, though a specific timeline for her return has not been disclosed.
KATSEYE, comprised of several members including Katseye and sombr, received a Best Modern Artist nomination at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards earlier this month. The group performed at the ceremony, gaining significant visibility. Sombr, known for her song “back to friends,” has recently been highlighted as a breakout star, according to Grammy.com.
News of Katseye’s hiatus was initially reported by artthreat.net and subsequently confirmed by E! News. Both outlets cited the singer’s need to prioritize her “health and wellbeing” as the reason for her temporary leave. No further details regarding the nature of her health concerns have been released.
KATSEYE’s rise to prominence has been rapid. The group’s nomination at the Grammys marked a significant achievement for the relatively new act. Bad Bunny won Album of the Year at the awards show, a groundbreaking win noted by The New York Times.
