Manon Katseye: manon katseye Hiatus Details
The group shared in a post on Feb. 20 (ET) that Bannerman would be stepping away from group activities “to focus on her health and wellbeing” and would return “when the time is right. ” The statement added, “We fully support this decision, ” and emphasized the group's commitment to each other and to fans while she is away. Fellow members named in the statement include Yoonchae, Lara Raj, Daniela Avanzini, Sophia Laforteza and Megan Skiendiel.
Group Activities and Grammy Moment
Members confirmed the band will continue scheduled activities during Bannerman’s hiatus. The announcement comes while the group is still riding momentum from recent award recognition and a performance at the Grammys; the group has received nominations that include Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Bannerman, who was 23 when speaking around the Grammys, has previously described how meaningful that stage and the nomination were for her career and personal journey.
What Comes Next for the Group
The band said it looks forward to being together again when the time is right. With scheduled activities continuing, expectations are that the remaining members will fulfill near‑term commitments while Bannerman focuses on recovery. If Bannerman returns as the statement anticipates, the group plans to reunite; the timeline for that return was not made public and remains unclear at this time.
Across public comments earlier in the year, Bannerman has emphasized the mutual support within the group and described performing with the band as a dream come true. She noted how the group's internal communication and care for one another have been central to their work together, and those themes were reflected in the announcement about her hiatus.
