Katseye’s Sophia to Temporarily Step Back From Group to Prioritize Her ‘Mental Health and Wellness’
Katseye member Sophia Laforteza will temporarily withdraw from upcoming promotional activities to focus on her mental health and wellbeing, following advice from medical professionals. The decision matters because it prioritises her recovery ahead of the group’s busy release and touring schedule, with Katseye and its management pledging their support.
Laforteza said she was saddened to miss performances but recognised the need to care for her mind and body for the long term. She missed the Los Angeles premiere of the group’s documentary, while Katseye’s “Wild” EP is due on 13 August ahead of an autumn tour; this is the group’s second temporary member hiatus this year, after Manon Bannerman’s break in February.
- Sophia Laforteza is taking a temporary health-focused break from Katseye.
- Medical advice recommended extended rest and ongoing care.
- Katseye’s new EP arrives on 13 August.
