OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West learned how to “negotiate” from her mother.
The 38-year-old reality star says she’s been “very fortunate” to have her mother Kris Jenner by her side as her manager since she began her career, because she was always too “insecure” to negotiate deals for herself, and credits her mother with helping her to gain that confidence.
She said: “I am very fortunate that my mom and I have worked together from the very beginning of my career. She is the best negotiator, and that’s always been her role. I didn’t have that loud personality in the beginning that allowed me to negotiate for myself. I was really insecure about how to negotiate for myself, and so I would always look to her to show me how to do that for myself.”
Now, the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star believes she’d be “very confident” in tackling negotiations by herself, as she’s “learned so much” throughout her career.
She added: “Now I think I’d be very confident in doing that for myself, but it’s always a learning curve. So what I would suggest to someone at the beginning of their career is to start off by saying yes to everything. I felt like there was power in learning from everything and trying it all … Now of course I look back, and although I love that phase of my life and I learned so much going through it, I wish I’d had the confidence to say ‘no’ to things I didn’t believe in.”
And that confidence is a trait she’d love to instil in her children – North, five, Saint, three, Chicago, 13 months, and a fourth child on the way – whom she has with husband Kanye West.
Speaking to Elle magazine, she said: “I would love to teach that to my kids, and my friends, and my younger sisters. Just stay true to who you are in your career and stand up for what you believe in when negotiating.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jane Fonda used to live “like a double image” in order to “fit in”.
The 81-year-old actress has admitted she spent most of her life living two lives, because she didn’t want anyone to see “who [she] really was”, as she thought it would make people – especially potential partners – wary of her.
She said: “For the bulk of my life, I would say up until my seventies, I spent my life like a double image, like a double exposure. As an adolescent, in order to fit in, I made sure no one – especially boys or men – could see who I really was; that I could get really angry, that I could not be pretty, that I could be tough. I went through life not whole.”
But since splitting from third husband Ted Turner in 2001, the ‘Grace and Frankie’ star says she no longer worries what other people think of her, and although she has been in romances since her last divorce, she isn’t focused on love any more because being with a man makes her “give up” herself.
She added: “When I left Ted, I could feel myself moving back into myself. That is the main thing about the third act as I’m living it. I am no longer a double image. I had several serious relationships after [Ted], but … I realise I can never overcome it. That when I’m with a man, I give up myself.”
Jane – who has 51-year-old adopted daughter Mary Luana, 50-year-old daughter Vanessa with her first husband Roger Vadim, and 45-year-old son Troy with second spouse Tom Hayden – also opened up on her health battles, admitting she has had “a lot of cancer” throughout her life.
She said: “I’ve had a lot of cancer. I was a sun-worshipper. When I have a day off, I frequently go to my skin doctor and have things cut off me by a surgeon.”
The ‘Barbarella’ actress also suffers from osteoporosis – which causes bones to become weak and brittle – but says she manages with the condition because she can just “get a new” bone when she needs one.
Speaking to British Vogue’s May issue, Jane – who has previously had both hip and knee replacements – said: “The fact that I hurt a lot – my body hurts – is a surprise to me, and it’s not because of all that working out. It’s genetic. My father had it, my brother had it. Your cartilage disappears and then it’s bone on bone, and then ‘Ow.’ But we live in a time where you can just get a new one.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Celine Dion says dealing with the passing of her husband “has been difficult”.
The ‘My Heart Will Go On’ hitmaker tragically lost her husband René Angelil – with whom she had Rene-Charles, 18, and eight-year-old twins Nelson and Eddy – to cancer in 2016, and has said life without him has been tough.
She said: “To see your husband suffer and dying slowly…The passing of my husband has been difficult. You try to help the person you love the most. You watch TV shows with them and bring the children to say goodnight to Papa, tell them to be careful [with him]. That’s all good, but then you feel that boat and it’s sinking a little bit.”
Celine lost her brother just says after René passed, and says telling her children about the losses made her “stronger”, as they pushed her to deal with her own grief in order to comfort her brood.
She added: “To bring my children to understand ‘Don’t look for dad,’ that made me strong. All the little things, and the big things, they have to make you stronger. Otherwise you don’t understand the meaning of life itself.”
And the 51-year-old music icon is putting her newfound strength to good use, as she says she feels more “beautiful” than ever before.
Speaking to People magazine, she said: “He gave his all for me. I’ve never felt as beautiful, as strong, and I really think the best is yet to come.
“Suddenly I’m making all of the decisions. All of my life I’ve had so much protection. I’m the 14th child of a family. I had a big army. I never had time to think about what I wanted to do with my life. It just happened. I’m the boss now.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Britney Spears’ boyfriend has been “inspired” by her after she reportedly checked herself into a mental health facility.
Sam Asghari – who has been dating the pop singer since 2016 – took to Instagram to praise the 37-year-old star’s “absolute strength” after it was claimed she is seeking treatment after becoming “distraught” over her father Jamie Spears’ ongoing health battle.
He wrote: “It isn’t weakness, It’s a sign of absolute strength, people should only be inspired by this, at least I am (sic)”
Sam also shared the same Instagram post as Britney, a quote which read: “Fall in love with taking care of yourself. Mind. Body. Spirit.”
The ‘Toxic’ hitmaker posted the same quote on her social media site and added the caption: “We all need to take time for a little “me time.” 🙂 (sic)”
Sam is said to have been “very helpful in making sure Britney did whatever she needed to feel better” recently after a tough few months – which has seen her put her Las Vegas residency on hold to care for her dad – with the pair said to be “very much still together”.
A source told E!: “Sam has stuck by her side throughout all of her recent struggles and knows that this is just a phase in Britney’s life that they will have to adjust to right now.”
Insiders claimed on Wednesday (03.04.19) that Britney – who has sons Sean, 13, and Jayden, 12, with her ex-husband Kevin Federline – checked herself into the facility about a week ago, and is expected to stay there for 30 days.
In January, she announced she was putting her Vegas run of ‘Britney: Domination’ at the Park MGM resort on hold until further notice due to her dad’s health, which has seen him undergo two major surgeries after his colon ruptured in November.
She wrote at the time: “I don’t even know where to start with this, because this is so tough for me to say. I will not be performing my new show ‘Domination’. I’ve been looking forward to this show and seeing all of you this year, so doing this breaks my heart. However, it’s important to always put your family first… and that’s the decision I had to make. A couple of months ago, my father was hospitalised and almost died. We’re all so grateful that he came out of it alive, but he still has a long road ahead of him.”
Her management said: “Everything is on hold right now until [her father] Jamie is better. But once he is, she will resume working on the album with Justin. Right now, she’s taking some time off to deal with these family issues.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jason Momoa was “very sad” after Emilia Clarke nearly died “numerous times” when she suffered two life-threatening brain aneurysms while filming ‘Game of Thrones’.
The 39-year-old actor – who played Khal Drogo in the HBO fantasy series – has praised his former on-screen wife (Daenerys Targaryen) for raising awareness of the condition.
He said: “I’m very sad, because we almost lost her numerous times. I love her to bits and she’s here and she’s going to do great things with it and teach the world.”
Jason also praised Emilia for being “so brave” throughout the terrifying situation, after she went through “so many scares”.
Speaking at the ‘Game of Thrones’ season eight premiere in New York on Wednesday night (03.04.19) – which he attended with wife Lisa Bonet – he told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “I’ve kind of been a part of that whole situation for a very long time, so we’ve had so many scares and trying to find the right way to come out and help.
“I just think it’s beautiful that … she’s so brave in helping the world and trying to raise awareness.”
Jason’s comments come just weeks after the 32-year-old actress revealed she almost died in 2011, after doctors discovered she had two aneurysms in her brain.
In an essay, she wrote: “On the morning of February 11, 2011, I was getting dressed in the locker room of a gym in Crouch End, North London, when I started to feel a bad headache coming on. I was so fatigued that I could barely put on my sneakers. When I started my workout, I had to force myself through the first few exercises.
“Then my trainer had me get into the plank position, and I immediately felt as though an elastic band were squeezing my brain. I tried to ignore the pain and push through it, but I just couldn’t. I told my trainer I had to take a break. Somehow, almost crawling, I made it to the locker room. I reached the toilet, sank to my knees, and proceeded to be violently, voluminously ill. Meanwhile, the pain – shooting, stabbing, constricting pain – was getting worse. At some level, I knew what was happening: my brain was damaged.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Amber Rose’s partner has thanked her for giving him the “greatest gift”.
The 35-year-old model – who already has son Sebastian, six, with ex-husband Wiz Khalifa – announced on Wednesday (03.04.19) that she is expecting a baby boy with Alexander ‘AE’ Edwards and the music executive couldn’t be happier.
He wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of Amber receiving an ultrasound scan: “Even when it’s dark.. my SON will shine. Thank u baby 4 my greatest gift…I love you.(sic)”
And AE can’t wait to “thug it out” with his son.
He continued: “I can’t wait to thug it out w my baby boy. & baby boy, I promise I won’t get mad if ur first words r “where the bitches @?” [laughing emoji] ( jokinggg-no hyper-masculinity) (sic)”
Amber had previously shared the same photo on her own account and revealed the couple were “super excited” to be having a baby together.
She wrote: “@ae4president and I are SUPER excited to announce that we have a Sweet little Baby Boy on the way!
“P.S Sebastian is soooooo Happy to be a big brother! (sic)”
Following their social media announcement, the pair received messages of congratulations from friends including Tyga, Blac Chyna, and Winnie Harlow.
Amber – who revealed her romance with the executive last October – previously declared AE her “best friend” who had helped her overcome feeling “damaged” from her previous relationships.
She wrote on Instagram in January: “I can honestly say I feel like this man really is my BEST FRIEND! We talk for hours, he makes me a better person, he listens to me and understands me.
“He also came into my life at a time where I’ve had enough of the narcissistic, cheating and abuse I’ve endured over the years from my previous relationships… I felt so damaged when I met him and pushed him away in the beginning, he has talked me through everything while simultaneously loving me and working with me so I could overcome my fear of loving someone in the most healthiest way again. So @ae4president Thank you for all of ur love and support baby. I love you so much.(sic)””

OHMYGOSSIP — Ed Sheeran’s pond has upset his neighbours again.
The 28-year-old singer previously sparked an outcry from locals near his estate in Suffolk, East England, who were worried he wanted to turn the water feature into a swimming pool, and though council officials previously ruled that wasn’t the case, he’s now dealing with fresh complaints.
The ‘Shape of You’ hitmaker erected a wooden caravan near the edge of the pond, prompting fears he’s going to use it as a changing room for his “swimming pool”, and so local officials have warned him he needs to seek planning permission or it will be torn down.
A local authority report obtained by The Sun newspaper read: “The recent structure in the surrounding area of the pond is under investigation as this would require planning permission. The council is taking appropriate action.”
The objection comes a month after neighbours asked planners to look into the use of the pond, which is the third of the size of an olympic pool, as they felt it was detrimental to the surroundings and local wildlife.
Tony Robinson wrote: “I believe it is more about creating an environment for a ‘wild lifestyle’ rather than actual ‘wildlife’.”
Ed insisted his pond – which has a beach, a jetty and steps into the water – was purely there to attract creatures such as birds, frogs and newts.
And East Suffolk council approved the installation of the steps as they will be used “to enable access to the pond in the event of maintenance and emergency”.
In 2016, when the initial planning permission application was made, Ed and his now-wife Cherry Seaborn said the new pond would help to “support nature conservation … and provide a natural habitat for breeding and wetland invertebrates such as dragonflies and water beetles, as well as providing a source of drinking water to birds and mammals.”
The application was approved a few months later but it was made clear by East Suffolk council that the pond wouldn’t be used for anything else including “recreational leisure such as swimming”.

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Gladiators’ star Cobra is seriously ill in hospital with pneumonia and a chest condition.
The 55-year-old star – whose real name is Michael Wilson – was rushed to hospital late last year with acute pancreatitis, and he was hospitalised again three weeks ago with pneumonia in both lungs and chest issue pleurisy.
He said: “I’m only half a Gladiator now. It’s been touch and go. I don’t feel like I’m kicking the bucket at the minute, but it will only take another cold or cough and I’m in trouble.
“I’m isolated in my own ward. It goes to show – you never know what’s round the corner.”
Michael, who also needs two new hips, regrets not seeking help earlier in January when he suffered a cough and a cold, and he may need to go under the knife to treat the “severe infection” which is harming his body.
He said: “They might have to open me up and get these pockets of rubbish out that are infecting my bloodstream.
“It’s self-inflicted in a way. I had a cough and cold in January and I didn’t bother getting it seen to, which is stupid.
“I left it and left it for three months and I ended up getting in a terrible state. They had to send an ambulance out and here I am three weeks in.”
Michael is also unable to lift his right arm after tearing one of his biceps, and partly blames himself for “destroying” his immune system by pushing himself too hard during tough workouts.
He added to The Sun Online: “I pushed the limit and listened to silly Arnold Schwarzenegger saying you’ve got to take more pain than your competitors.
“But pain is your body saying: ‘Oi, pack it in.’ You need to pull back, not push through. But for 20-plus years I was: push, push, push.
“I would run ten miles before I’d start my workouts.”
Michael starred as Cobra in all eight series of the original ‘Gladiators’, which saw four contestants in each episode compete against the so-called Gladiators in a series of physical challenges.

OHMYGOSSIP — Sam Allardyce is in talks to take part in ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 64-year-old former England manager – whose last job at Premiership club Everton ended last May – has been speaking to executives, initially about the possibility of taking part in the show’s one-off Christmas special, but they are keen to sign him up for the main series.
A source said: “He met TV executives this week in a hotel bar…
“They were talking to him about the Christmas special but emphasised that they want him on a whole series, rather than just a one-off.”
Sam was said to have been concerned he would have to meet particular standards on the dancefloor, but was reassured.
The insider told the Daily Mail newspaper: “They assured him that the show’s edited so that no one comes across as a terrible dancer, mentioning Katie Piper as someone who was not ‘a natural’ but who got the public behind her.”
And the former footballer then enquired about how two other ex-players had fared on the show and was relieved to learn John Barnes – the first male celebrity contestant to score a 10 for his salsa – came a respectable seventh in 2007, while Robbie Savage did better and came sixth in 2011.
But even if Sam proves to have two left feet, he’s not worried about critics of his dancing.
The insider explained: “He said: ‘Whatever they can say, I’ve had twice as bad.’ ”
A BBC spokesperson declined to comment on the story, while a spokesperson for Sam simply said she was “not able to confirm anything”.
As was previously announced, Virgin Radio DJ Chris Evans, comedian Alan Carr and Welsh newsreader Huw Edwards have also been approached by the BBC for this year’s series.

OHMYGOSSIP — Rachel Weisz is in talks to star in ‘Black Widow’.
The 49-year-old star is said to be in early negotiations to join Scarlett Johansson’s standalone Marvel movie, as is ‘Stranger Things’ actor David Harbour.
Sources told Variety that the talks are progressing in the right direction.
Cate Shortland is set to direct the motion picture, Kevin Feige will produce, and Jac Shaeffer will pen the script.
News of Weisz and Harbour’s talks come just weeks after ‘Little Women’ actress Florence Pugh was said to be in negotiations about joining the cast.
There are few details about the film as-yet, but it will focus on Johansson’s S.H.I.E.L.D. spy character Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, an alter-ego she has portrayed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2010 when she made her debut in ‘Iron Man 2’.
Emma Watson has also been linked to the movie, with her potential part recently described as a “kick-ass female [James] Bond”.
Johansson has high hopes for the standalone film, and believes Feige can help to create a “really ground-breaking” movie.
She said: “The only way to do it would be if it were something that we’ve never seen before that was really ground-breaking and incredibly bad ass. I think if anyone could make that happen my boss Kevin Feige could. He’s a visionary.”
She also believes there is plenty of scope to develop a compelling storyline because of her character’s traumatic past.
The ‘Lucy’ star recently said: “I think it could be something really special.
“There’s a lot of room there. The character has a tortured past, she’s had to make a lot of difficult decisions. She has a lot of trauma. She’s got issues. There’s room to work them all out.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Elle Fanning got to live out her childhood dreams in ‘Teen Spirit’.
The 20-year-old actress always imagined she’d grow up to be a pop star so getting the chance to play Violet Valenski, a teenager with musical ambitions, in the upcoming movie offered her the chance to bring back her old “spirit”.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: “[As a child], I imagined myself on stage and being a pop star one day. [Younger Elle] would be smiling so big and probably dancing at the moment.
“I was constantly dancing and performing and singing. You would see me (back then) and be like, okay, she’s going to be in the entertainment world in some capacity.”
And Elle could relate a lot to the “drive” of her Polish-British alter ego.
She continued: “Violet has this drive inside her and this hunger to accomplish her dream. In this industry, you get rejected a lot and people say no to you.
“You have to somehow figure out: how do you find that hunger again and to keep going with your passion.”
The actress won praise from producer Fred Berger for her vocal talents, explaining the character evolved when Elle “found her own musical voice”.
He added: “I can’t imagine another Violet Valenski than the one that Elle portrays. It’s very much in her bones and having made two movies with Elle in a row when we shot this, she is this beautiful, adorable sweet hyper-professional girl, but she’s got a fire in her that when it comes out It’s a beautiful thing.”
But while singing came easily to the star, she needed some help from co-star Agnieszka Grochowska, who plays her mother, to master a Polish accent.
Agnieszka said: “Polish is quite difficult, but Elle really has the ear for it.”
The movie explores the bond between Violet and her manager/vocal coach Vlad (Zlato Buric) and director-and-writer Max Minghella enjoyed being able to “explore platonic relationships” rather than seek out a love story.
He said: “I think it’s really interesting to explore platonic relationships in a movie and especially a platonic relationship between a man and a woman where there’s nothing lascivious about it.
“It’s a really complicated relationship, but it’s a really beautiful one and full of heart.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Celine Dion has announced her first world tour in a decade, and a new album.
The 51-year-old singing legend will hit the road in September for her ‘Courage World Tour’, which will run until spring 2020, after her Las Vegas residency comes to an end on June 8th.
She said in a statement: “I’m so grateful to all the fans who have come to see my show in Las Vegas for so many years, and now I get the chance to create a brand new show and bring it to them in North America, and around the world.
“I’m very excited about this tour, and my new album … coming later this year.”
Celine will begin her mammoth run of shows in her home province with two concerts at the Videotron Centre in Quebec City, and she will visit more than 50 north American cities over the tour.
She hinted that fans could expect to hear her greatest hits as well as some of her new tunes.
Speaking in a Q&A at Los Angeles’ Theatre at the Ace Hotel, where she performed hits ‘I’m Alive’, ‘Ashes’, and ‘My Heart Will Go On’, she said: “I like to sing these songs, and incorporate a few new songs. I would like this to be the most spectacular tour.
“The thing I can say right now, [because] we’re still in the process of putting it together, is that it’s not going to be the Las Vegas show.”
But Celine – whose husband René Angélil died in 2016 aged 73 – will not be hitting the road with her children, Rene-Charles, 18, and eight-year-old twins Nelson and Eddy.
She said: “I’m not going on tour with my kids. They’re very mature and very independent.
“Eleven days is the longest time I’ve been away from them. And two weeks on tour will be the longest time I will be away from my children.”
Celine’s new single ‘Courage’ will appear on her upcoming album, but she cannot decide which songs to put on the forthcoming record.
She said: “They say 12 songs, I say, let’s do a triple album.
“There will not be one song on the album I don’t love. If I [only] like it, then it’s out.”
Celine played a 132-show ‘Taking Chances World Tour’ from 2008 which was seen by more than 2.3 million fans.

OHMYGOSSIP — The Weeknd is being sued by three songwriters who have accused him of copying one of their songs.
William ‘Billy’ Smith, Brian Clover and Scott McCulloch are taking legal action against the ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ hitmaker in a bid to receive the profits from his song ‘A Lonely Night’.
According to court documents obtained by The Blast, the trio believe The Weeknd blatantly copied their own song ‘I Need To Love’ to create his track, which featured on his award-winning album ‘Starboy’.
The men wrote ‘I Need To Love’ in 2004-2005 and pitched it to a number of artists around the world, before a division of Universal Music acquired the rights to all their songs in 2008.
However, in 2016, they were told the label were relinquishing all rights – and weeks later, they were unimpressed to hear ‘A Lonely Night’ for the first time.
The writers – who have edited the two songs together to highlight the similarities – are seeking unspecified damages, along with $150,000 per infringement and forensic accounting to figure out how much they’re owed.
Last year, The Weeknd and Daft Punk were sued by Somali-American poet Yasminah, who accused them of “ripping off” her 1999 song ‘Hooyo’ for ‘Starboy’s title track.
The R&B artist is convinced that the musicians copied several of the beats, tempo and hooks on the song and she claimed to have read several articles on blog sites and social media which remarked on the similarities in the two songs.
Yasminah’s producers reportedly previously took the pair to court over ‘Starboy’, but she never received a penny from the cases.

OHMYGOSSIP — Coronation Street’s guide dog Mr Quinn is retiring after six years.
The talented pooch – whose first scenes were alongside Chris Gascoyne – worked with blind extra Annie Giles-Quinn, but he will no longer be pawing along the cobbles as she now has a new ‘Corrie’ canine, Miss Sally.
A tweet on the official ‘Coronation Street’ Twitter account read: “Let’s all ‘paws’ to bid farewell to Coronation Street’s resident guide dog, Mr Quinn who is retiring today after 6 years as an extra on the cobbles. (sic)”
Black labrador Mr Quinn is a legend on the Manchester-based set and is even able to turn his paws to live acting – having appeared in the opening scene of the soap’s last live episode.
Bill Roache – who plays Ken Barlow on the soap – is a huge admirer of the four-legged friend.
Annie told the Coronation Street Blog: “He’s so calm and beautiful. William Roache summed it up when he said, ‘Mr Quinn looks right into your soul’.”
Several ‘Corrie’ fans took to Twitter to Mr Quinn for his “outstanding service”.
One wrote: Let’s Mr Quinn a round of a paws for his outstanding service (sic)”
Another posted: “Hope you’ve had a great day Annie. Love and big hugs to you and Mr. Quinn. I’m sure all the cast will miss him. Happy retirement Mr. Quinn, shall miss looking out for you. (sic)”
One shared: “Aww he’s so handsome. Happy paw retirement Mr Quinn. All the best for your retirement mr. Wish I could adopt you (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kanye West’s kids pranked him by pretending their mother Kim Kardashian West was dead.
The ‘Stronger’ rapper was left unimpressed by five-year-old North’s “ridiculous” April Fool’s joke, which saw her enlist the help of her three-year-old brother Saint to cover the ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star in ketchup like a “bad scary movie”.
Kim – who insisted she didn’t realise what her daughter was planning – said: “[North and Saint] are starting to get closer now that she can include him in her jokes.
“She roped him into an April Fool’s prank yesterday that was ridiculous. She took ketchup into my bathroom, and she begged me to let her spread it on me, and on the bathroom, as if it was like a bad scary movie.
“Then she asked me to lie down. I thought she was just playing, maybe that she was going to say I was hurt. No.
“She taught Saint how to fake-cry – she showed him how to do it! – and then she told him to scream ‘Mommy’s dead!’
“Kanye ran upstairs and he was like, ‘Kids, this is not funny. This is not a good prank.’ ”
While the 38-year-old beauty agreed with her husband, she was also “impressed” by the team work employed by the pair, who also have a 14-month-old sister, Chicago.
She added in an interview with America’s Elle magazine: “I completely understand and I agree. But it did make me a little impressed that they planned something together, and they were getting along and having fun as a team.”
Kim – who is expecting her fourth child via surrogate – admitted she worried about her children not being as close as she is to her own siblings.
She said “I do worry about them getting along, because for my sisters and I, we were just so close growing up and obviously still are. And I want them to be, too!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Justin Bieber thinks it is “cool” to have a “healthy mind”.
The ‘Sorry’ hitmaker recently told fans he was putting his music career on hold in order to repair some “deep-rooted issues” and he’s continued to be honest and open by sharing a photo at his therapist’s office
He posted a selfie on Instagram Story on Wednesday (03.04.19), which was captioned ‘Therapy Session’ and explained: “It’s cool to have a healthy mind and emotions.”
The ‘Love Yourself’ singer – who is married to model Hailey Bieber – previously admitted he had been “unable emotionally” to put on a fun show for fans so wanted to take time out to stop himself from “falling apart”.
He wrote on Instagram last month: “So I read a lot of messages saying you want an album .. I’ve toured my whole teenage life, and early 20s, I realised and as you guys probably saw I was unhappy last tour and I don’t deserve that and you don’t deserve that, you pay money to come and have a lively energetic fun light concert and I was unable emotionally to give you that near the end of the tour. I have been looking, seeking, trial and error as most of us do, I am now very focused on repairing some of the deep rooted issues that I have as most of us have, so that I don’t fall apart, so that I can sustain my marriage and be the father I want to be.
“Music is very important to me but Nothing comes before my family and my health.”
And the 25-year-old singer promised when he does come back, it will be with a “vengeance”.
He added in the lengthy social media post: “I will come with a kick ass album ASAP, my swag is undeniable and my drive is indescribable his love is supernatural his grace is that reliable…. the top is where I reside period whether I make music or not the king said so. but I will come with a vengeance believe that.. (grammar and punctuation will be terrible pretend it’s a text where u just don’t care). (sic)”
