The ‘Human’ hitmaker – who welcomed his first child, son Reuben, with his former spouse in September 2017 – has admitted he’s fed up of “break-up songs” and didn’t want to channel his heartbreak from his marriage split into his upcoming second studio album, ‘Life By Misadventure’. <\/p>\n

In an interview with The Telegraph newspaper, he confessed: \u201cI\u2019m bored of break-up songs. I don\u2019t want people to listen to my music and think how depressing it is. So, when I was feeling a bit sorry for myself, I just hung my head and thought, \u2018I\u2019m not going to write anything for a bit, because it\u2019s just going to turn out sad and pathetic.\u2019 There\u2019s more to be said. There are other things to write about.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old singer-songwriter – whose real name is Rory Graham – did attempt to write songs for his little boy, but admitted they turned out to be too “sickly”.<\/p>\n

He laughed: \u201cIt\u2019s hard not to be sickly about parenthood. I wrote five or six other songs for Reuben that I trashed, just threw in the bin. They were horrible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rory and Beth tied the knot in 2019, but split just 10 months later, after a decade in a relationship.<\/p>\n

However, the pair “still get on really well” and the ‘Giant’ hitmaker – who releases his follow-up to 2017’s acclaimed ‘Human’ on April 23 – insisted their son hasn’t “suffered” as a result of their divorce. <\/p>\n

On becoming a father, he said: \u201cYou might think having a child, or getting married, is the right thing to do for the next step in your life, but maybe it\u2019s not the problem-solver. It doesn\u2019t make everything OK.”<\/p>\n

But the ‘All You Ever Wanted’ singer added: \u201cFor some reason it changed everything for the worse. I\u2019m not bitter. Beth is an amazing mum, we still get on really well, my son hasn\u2019t suffered, and as long as there\u2019s no loss of love, it\u2019ll be OK.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
