Sugababe Keisha to go solo

Sugababes star Keisha Buchanan hopes to emulate Beyonce Knowles by taking time out from a hit girl band and forging a successful solo career.

The British pop singer, who is the only remaining original member of the trio after Siobhan Donaghy's exit in 2001 and Mutya Buena quit last year, admits she needs to take a break from the British band to focus on her own ideas.
