Original member of 00s pop group leaves after 26 years, making it a solo act.

Atomic Kitten, the beloved girl group that dominated the pop scene for over two decades, is now down to just one member. After 26 years of success with the band, Natasha Hamilton has announced her departure to pursue solo endeavors. This leaves Liz McClarnon as the only remaining member, causing many to question whether it can still be considered a band with just one member.

Natasha joined Atomic Kitten in 1999, alongside Liz and Kerry Katona, after original member Heidi Range left soon after the group's formation. The trio quickly rose to fame, releasing their first single in the same year and going on to have three number-one hits and two number-one albums.

Despite their past success, the future of Atomic Kitten is now uncertain with only Liz remaining. Natasha took to Instagram to announce her departure, expressing her gratitude for the incredible journey she has had with the band. She also shared her personal struggles with fame and the difficulty of balancing being a part of Atomic Kitten while pursuing a solo career.

Natasha and Liz have been performing as a duo since 2013, experiencing a resurgence in popularity and launching a successful comeback. However, Natasha has now decided that it is time for her to close this chapter of her life and focus on new ventures. She will be stepping down from all Atomic Kitten duties after her final gig with the band this Sunday.

Despite her departure, Natasha made it clear that there is no bad blood between her and the remaining members. She expressed her love and support for Liz and thanked the fans for their unwavering support over the years. She also assured fans that she will continue to perform Atomic Kitten's hits as they have been a huge part of her life.

The news of Natasha's departure has been met with love and support from fellow Noughties stars, with many leaving heartfelt comments on her Instagram post. And while it may be strange to see Atomic Kitten listed as a one-woman band now, we can't wait to see what the future holds for Natasha and her solo career. Liz will continue with Atomic Kitten's future projects, and we wish both of them all the luck and love in the world.
