It was supposed to be October but obviously I 'm going on tour with Beyoncé and they said I 'm not allowed to put an album out while I 'm on tour because I 'll be trapped in Australia and I wo n't be able to do any TV appearances and I thought that 's fair enough , that 's three weeks and then they said ' You ca n't put an album out around Christmas time , that 's a bad time ' and I said ' What about January ? ' ' Well nobody gets back off holidays and then it 's the Brit Awards , you ca n't release an album , it 's terrible for marketing ' which brings me to February .
