\n\tKatseye<\/a> started the year off strong, but the past few months have been marred with hiccups. What\u2019s going on? <\/p>\n \n\tIn February, the six members of the group delivered a spirited performance of \u201cGnarly\u201d during the Best New Artist medley<\/a> at the 2026 Grammy Awards<\/a>. In April, they made their Coachella debut<\/a> on the heels of their single \u201cPinky Up.\u201d By then, they were down to five members, with Manon Bannerman on an indefinite hiatus to focus on her \u201chealth and wellbeing,\u201d a break that is currently in its ninth month.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI\u2019m really grateful for the patience and kindness everyone has shown during this time,\u201d Bannerman said in April, adding that she\u2019d had \u201cpositive conversations\u201d with the group\u2019s labels. \u201cI feel supported. I\u2019m happy and I\u2019m healthy.\u201d Katseye powered full-speed ahead in the meantime.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tOver the summer, the group announced their Wildworld Tour, a global trek scheduled to put them on arena stages in the fall. Leading up to the launch, Katseye released their third EP, Wild, <\/em>in August and made a major push to expand their audience with an appearance as musical guest on Saturday Night Live<\/a><\/em> in September.<\/p>\n \n\tThey were now down to four members, with Sophia Laforteza on a hiatus expected to conclude next January. \u201cMaking this decision wasn\u2019t easy, but I\u2019m learning that health has to come first,\u201d she said over the summer. \u201cI\u2019m realizing that if I don\u2019t take care of my mind and body now, I won\u2019t be able to keep doing what I love the most for so long.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAnd so Katseye began the North American leg of the tour as a quartet. But last week, their Detroit concert was postponed shortly before they were scheduled to hit the stage. \u201cMegan [Skiendiel] is unwell and unable to perform tonight, and we want to make sure she has the time she needs to rest and recover,\u201d the group shared on Instagram. Two more postponements followed with the confirmation that Skiendiel\u2019s previously undisclosed illness was actually a concussion. This came on top of her sprained ankle, which resulted in the cancellation of their appearance at Olivia Rodrigo\u2019s Daisy Chain Fields Festival<\/a> in August. <\/p>\n
