Will Young: Concerned to remain young
As he reached 30, British singer Will Young had a mini mid-life crisis. The ‘Let It Go’ singer, who reached the milestone age in January, admits his latest birthday has forced him to reassess everything about his life.
Will Young said: “You look back and go, ‘What am I doing with my life?’, that kind of thing, ‘Do I like myself? Do I like my friends?’ I was ticking boxes, thinking, ‘Oh yes! I’m happy with this. I still look OK. I kind of like my friends, I kind of like myself, I think I have done OK.’
“But since then, there have been repercussions. Maybe I am having more of a problem with being 30 than I realise!”
Young, who spent his birthday at an awards ceremony and “rubbed his face in Tracy Emin’s boobs”, is unhappy to be single at 30 and admits he is desperate to find love again.
Will Young added Britain’s The Times newspaper: “I had a moment of thinking, ‘Should I be in a relationship?’ I was like, ‘It’s OK, because you are gay, so you don’t mind so much about kids.’ I thought, ‘It’s fine!’ And then I had a bit of a moment. Maybe it is not fine.
“There are three people I have been in love with. I take it very seriously. I think I quite enjoy the melancholy of heartbreak.”
Young, who achieved stardom after winning British TV talent show ‘Pop Idol’ in 2002, is already making plans for what he wants to have achieved by the time he turns 40, and is keen to have settled down by then.
