‘Brent’ is quitting music. Fact

NICK Knowles will wind down his music career after being compared with Ricky Gervais’s cringe-character David Brent.

A pal said he left the jungle to offers of gigs and a second album deal was a possibility.

But they added: “He is set to turn down the gigs as he would be a novelty act and that is not what he wants. He always takes a guitar with him around the world and that won’t change. But the album was meant to be a one-off.” Nick will give cash from his iTunestopper Make You Feel My Love to charity.
