Important Artist Plan B is taking a break from the whole popstar thing for a bit

  • November 5, 2012
  • Marc Ridley

Plan B is hoping to take a year out from being famous in order to build up some inspir­a­tion for his next album.

Speaking to The Sun, B said he'll be seeking some "normality" away from the celebrity world for around 12 months.

“I want to take a year out from being pho­to­graphed and going to shows," he moaned. "I’m living the dream I guess; a red carpet is rolled out every­where I go…But the only way I can keep on making music about real life is to live in normality, and the last three years I haven’t been."

He added: "I’m an artist and I need inspiring. It’ll be nice to get away from that celebrity circuit."

Plan B was speaking on the red carpet at the MOBO Awards on Saturday, where he won Best Male and Best Hip Hop/Grime. Well done to him.
