Sophia Laforteza Leaves Katseye, Second Member to Depart This Year

The ensemble announced a new project on Tuesday, following the recent decision by bandmate Manon Bannerman to take a hiatus. The announcement, issued through the group’s official website and social media channels, confirms that the remaining members will continue to record and perform while Bannerman is away.

According to the statement, the band will release a single later this month and begin a short promotional tour in the coming weeks. The group noted that Bannerman’s absence will not affect the release schedule, as the material had already been completed. The announcement also thanked fans for their continued support during this transitional period.

The ensemble’s leadership expressed confidence that the new release will maintain the group’s established sound. They indicated that Bannerman’s hiatus is temporary and that she will rejoin when her schedule allows, ensuring the band’s future plans remain on track.
