As previously reported, Patrick Wolf recently made a statement saying he would retire from music shortly, but then retracted it. Now he's been talking about why all that happened. It sounds like he was having a bit of a hissy fit. And I say that in a completely non-judgemental way.
The singer, who recently toured the US with Amy Winehouse, and is set to headline US dates as part of promotional duties for his new album 'The Magic Position' told NME.com: "With the retirement thing, I was a bit drunk and I went to the internet and I checked this message board and I thought it'd be really interesting to see what people thought of the shows. But it was like walking into the wrong conversation at the playground".
Explaining his upset at the negative comments on the message board he continued: "I said, 'You know I'm a human being as well and I'm not going to act like I don't feel anything'. So I wrote about how I was feeling. I just wanted people to know that I'm not going to be around forever so enjoy the shows while they're there and enjoy the positive thing I'm trying to give them".
