Sugababes perform with BBC Concert Orchestra in Radio 2 Piano Room

The first week of Radio 2’s Piano Room Month ended today with a performance from Sugababes and the BBC Concert Orchestra.

Listeners heard the band’s classic hit Too Lost In You, new single No Regrets, and their classic cover was Flowers by Miley Cyrus.

In addition to performing, the band also revealed a few things, including about the release of their new album, Lost Tapes after the difficulties around their much publicised legal battle a few years ago.

“We always hoped to [release the tracks at some point] and it was just like a big fight in order to do so ‘cause we had a lot of opposition kind of stopping us and we had to fight for the name Sugababes back and we were just so happy.

“For us, it was like a gift for our fans for basically holding on and supporting us the whole time… Sugababes was our name and we should never have had to fight for it.”

They also spoke about the time Avalon field at Glastonbury had to be shut down when they reunited for a performance last year: “We were overwhelmed by the response and things have just snowballed from there. We just had an incredible time.”

Keisha recalled their most surprising fan: “I remember Beyoncé, she really liked my outfit in Hole In The Head – the big skirt thing – and she was like ‘I’ve seen the video, I love the skirt’. That’s literally like, that was my year, that year!”

Sugababes are one of the most successful girl groups of the 21st century. The group had six number one singles and two number one studio albums during their initial run and, following some line-up changes, the original trio got back together in 2012.

Last year, Keisha, Mutya and Siobhan sold out a UK-wide tour, performed at Glastonbury, and will be touring in Australia this year. They are also performing at London’s O2 Arena later in the year.

You can listen back to the performance on Ken Bruce’s show on BBC Sounds (about 2 hours in) and find out which other artists are lined up to play by going here.

Sugababes’ performance will also be available on BBC iPlayer alongside the other Piano Room performances so far.
