Jamiroquai's Jay Kay to retire
Yahoo! Music, Feb 28, 2007 3:00 pm PSTJay Kay is quitting music, he has announced. The Jamiroquai star's deal with SonyBMG is understood to have ended recently, prompting the decision to retire.
In confirming the news, Kay said he was "bored" but suggested he might be back if his "inspiration" returns.
He explained: "I haven't been happy there for a while. I've had some ups and downs but in the end the downs were just too many. When we talked about me leaving, I jumped at the chance. 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."
Jamiroquai have released eight albums, culminating in a greatest-hits colelction in 2006. However, Kay says we might not have seen the last of him.
"I might be back if I get my inspiration again, but who knows. All I'm going to do now is fly my helicopter and look for the right lady to have children with," he explained.
