OHMYGOSSIP — Tom Walker “fell out of love” with music amid the COVID-19 lockdown.
The 32-year-old singer released his debut studio album, ‘What a Time to Be Alive’, back in 2019 – but Tom has now admitted to losing his way amid the global health crisis, when he tried to make another hit record.
He told the BBC: “I binned an album’s worth of stuff. I lost my way with music.
“I fell out of love with it during that process.”
At the time, Tom felt under intense pressure to create a successful follow-up album.
He explained: “Do you know what I should have done? I’d just spent five years touring a very successful album, I hadn’t seen friends, I’d barely seen my missus. I should have just taken some time off. And instead I was like: ‘Oh, my God, I need to write this next album’.”
Tom previously revealed that he initially wanted to become a musician at the age of nine.
The singer also confessed to being inspired by AC/DC.
He told British GQ magazine: “I went to an AC/DC concert with my dad when I was about nine in Paris.
“It was in an open-air arena and it was a beautiful summer’s day; the sun was setting while they were playing, everyone had devil horns on. I thought, ‘That looks like a good job, that.’ My dad’s massively into music. He took me to see Prodigy, Foo Fighters, Muse, John Mayer, Paolo Nutini … just loads of different styles.
“I miss going to gigs with my dad, actually. He took me to see Slipknot because he wanted to go, not because I was into them. He’s obsessed with vinyls.”
