Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay has announced that he’s quitting the music industry - at least for the time being.

He told the Mirror recently that he’s left his record label Sony BMG and is going to concentrate on his personal life for a while: “I might be back if I get my inspiration again, but who knows.”

“I’m bored. I don’t want to go back on the road. We all need a rest to be honest. I don’t need the money or a deal. One minute I would be promoting a single with one team and the next they brought different people in and expected me to go along with it. There was no way in hell I was doing that. I’m just tired of the format and wanted to call it a day.”

“All I’m going to do now is fly my helicopter and look for the right lady to have children with. I feel free and I want to find love.”

“My guitarist has just had a baby girl and made me realise how much I want one. I’m not ready to tie the knot, though, because I don’t want to lose my house.”
