"After a series of well-publicised public disagreements the All Saints have regrettably decided to put the group on ice. All four members have decided to take a break from All Saints in order to clear the air between themselves. In the meantime the girls will all be working on new ventures.

"As a result the UK tour has now been called off. The girls would like to apologise to all their fans but feel they would not have been able to give them the show that they deserve at this time.

"This does not by any means signal the end of All Saints. ... They just need their own space for a while."

The girl band first came together in London in 1993 and released its self-titled debut through London Records in 1997. Hits from the album include "Never Ever," "I Know Where It's At" and "Bootie Call." The band's second album, "Saints and Sinners," followed in 2000, producing "Pure Shores," one of the best-selling singles of that year.
