The 23-year-old Swiss singer told fans she was "healthy" and "taking care of myself," adding: "Sometimes things unfold in ways we don't fully control, but I'm trusting the bigger picture."

The announcement comes weeks after Katseye performed at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, where they were nominated for best new artist and best pop duo/group performance for their song, Gabriela.

In a statement on WeVerse shared by their label, HYBE and Geffen Records, the group said: "We fully support this decision. Katseye remains committed to showing up for one another and for the fans who mean everything to us."
Katseye confirmed they would continue scheduled performances during Bannerman's absence and "look forward to being together again when the time is right".
The group - which also includes Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel, Sophia Laforteza and Yoonchae Jeung - was formed during the 2023 reality competition series The Debut: Dream Academy.
