British pop stars SUGABABES have pulled out of promotional duties for their new single after two members fell ill with influenza.
Doctors have diagnosed Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah with a "severe bout of flu", forcing the trio to cancel radio

and TV interviews for their track Get Sexy.
The Sugababes will resume their work schedule as soon as they recover.
A statement from the group reads, "They've been instructed to take at least a week off before a reassessment and so will unfortunately be out of action for at least the next seven days." It has not been confirmed if the singers are suffering from the H1N1 swine flu virus, which has claimed an estimated 500 lives around the world.
