Australian singer/songwriter SIA has moved quickly to clarify comments announcing her retirement from music, insisting she will continue to record new material - she just won't promote it.
The Destiny singer confessed this week she is tired of life in the spotlight and wants a "normal job", revealing she would step back from the music industry following the June release of her fourth record, We Are Born.
Sia cited the negative aspects of fame, including having to deal with a "stalker" and the scrutiny of her bisexuality in the press, for the decision, claiming the unwanted attention sent her into a downward spiral of panic attacks and depression.
But Sia insists she has no plans to quit music altogether - she just wants to slow down. In a statement issued to gossip blog PerezHilton.com, she writes: "I just wanted to let you know my plan, today at least. I am going to promote and tour the s**t out of this record because I am proud of it, and I have made a commitment to many people to do so.
"My plan is to keep making records, but not promote or tour them. My plan is to do maybe three gigs a year, in a different city of the world every year, until I'm too tired or fat to get out of the house."
However Sia concedes her plans are subject to change and she's still unsure about what the future holds: "Of course everything changes, and I don't want to be one of the kids that cry wolf for attention. I really am finding it incredibly nerve wracking, being picked apart and observed and finding myself responsible for so many people's feelings, needs and sometimes even incomes."
