Katseye’s Manon Bannerman Announces Temporary Hiatus to Focus on Health and Wellbeing
Manon Bannerman has announced she will take a temporary hiatus from katseye to focus on her health and wellbeing, a decision the group says it fully supports. The move, conveyed in a public notice late Friday, makes clear the group intends to continue scheduled activities while leaving the door open for Manon’s return when the time is right.
Katseye Statement and What the Group Is Saying
The group shared that after open and thoughtful conversations, Manon will step back from group activities for the time being so she can prioritize her health and wellbeing. Members named in the announcement confirmed their support and emphasized a commitment to each other and to fans during this period. The message also thanked the fan community for patience and understanding and said the group looks forward to being together again when the time is right.
Impact on Scheduled Activities and Fan Response
The announcement noted that the remaining members—Yoonchae, Lara Raj, Daniela Avanzini, Sophia Laforteza and Megan Skiendiel—will continue scheduled activities during Manon’s hiatus. That signals the group plans to proceed with public commitments while managing internal adjustments to account for a temporary change in lineup.
Fans were explicitly thanked for their continued love and patience. The tone of the group’s message framed the hiatus as a mutual decision reached through conversation and support, rather than a unilateral departure. Community reaction is likely to center on concern for Manon’s wellbeing alongside continued interest in the group’s ongoing projects.
Manon’s Place in the Group and Next Steps
Manon, identified in the announcement as a Swiss-born member of the group, has been open about the importance of mutual support among members. The group highlighted ongoing communication and internal care, noting that members check in with one another and prioritize collective wellbeing. The notice made clear Manon will return to the group when the time is right, leaving the hiatus framed as temporary rather than permanent.
At present, the practical timeline and specific medical or wellness details behind the decision were not disclosed. The group’s statement focused on support, continuity of activities, and gratitude to fans. These remain the core, confirmed facts; additional details may follow as the situation evolves.
Context: Recent Milestones and Public Profile
The group’s public profile has included major award nominations and a recent ceremony performance earlier this month, milestones the announcement referenced indirectly by noting the intensity of the shared journey. Manon has spoken previously about gratitude for performing with the group and for recognition at high-profile industry moments. The hiatus arrives amid that heightened visibility and underscores the pressures that can accompany rapid public success.
What comes next will depend on Manon’s recovery and the group’s planning. For now, the message is one of mutual support: the group will continue commitments, fans are asked for patience, and Manon will step back to prioritize health with the intention of rejoining when she is ready. Details may evolve as the members and their representatives provide further updates.
