LEO SAYER HOPES TO RESTART HIS CAREER

The Associated Press
(Published November 8, 2004)


CANBERRA, Australia (AP) - British pop star of the 1970s Leo Sayer says he hopes to move to Australia to restart his career.

The London-based curly headed singer who had hits with songs like "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" and "When I Need You" said he is disillusioned with the modern music industry in Britain.

Australian show business is "much more interesting and its much more inspiring so, yeah, it would be great to sort of kick things off for me again in Australia," the 56-year-old told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio in Canberra in a telephone interview Monday from London.

In Britain, he said, "they only want really young artists and they only want to have manufactured pop."

Sayer acknowledged that the music industries in Australia and the United States were similarly focused on youth and manufactured acts.

"You do have that, yeah, but you still respect your heroes," he said. "All the people that mean a lot to you musically are still kind of very much respected and that's good and that carries on."

Sorry, but I was never a fan of his squeaky high-pitched falsetto voice. But I though I'd pass this story on to you.
