Michael rubbishes rumours of retirement
The singer disputes an interview published in the Daily Mail that said he would quit music after the release of his album Love
Michael Buble is shutting down rumours that he’s going to retire from music, saying he was misquoted in a recent interview.
Buble said that he is not planning on retiring anytime soon. He disputes an October 13 interview published in the Daily Mail that said he would quit music after the release of his upcoming album Love, due November 16.
The report suggested the Grammywinning singer was stepping away from music for good following his son Noah’s cancer battle, but Buble said the story is false. “I’ll keep going until the news of my death comes out, which will probably be fake too,” he said with a chuckle. “At that point, you’re really famous now. Things are really going well on this record. Buble is hanging with Elvis . ... Buble and Elvis having fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches together.”
The Canadian singer took a two-year break from public life to spend time with his family before recording his eighth studio album. He and his wife, actress Luisana Lopilato, have two sons, Elias and Noah, together and welcomed a baby girl named Vida Amber Betty in July.
The singer said he learnt about the report after receiving text messages from a couple friends. In reply to his friends, he told them: “Consider the source.”
Buble called the Daily Mail report “negative energy.”
As a public figure, he said he understands it comes with the territory but still doesn’t want to deal with it.
