It's hard not to be negative when everything in your life seems that way to start with.

 

It's that cup's half empty feeling. Sue

A sourness that touches everything. Well, ignore me. I'm still thinking I'd be better hibernating. Even if Darius did something, I'd probably not be able to go but I'd feel things were OK for him. It is incredibly stupid to worry about him but I don't seem able to help it.

It's called the maternal instinct, Meg.

My feelings are that either he is not bothered about his talent or is not being allowed to bother but either way it is the loss of in my view a great talent.It is strange that another talent that surfaced at the same time and was a friend of Darius has also gone to hibernation or though it seems, that is Daniel Bedingfield.

Daniel has produced 3 albums that have all rejected by his record label. I doubt he knows where to go from here. I hope he works it out as he is an artist I admire.

Wasn't he in a serious car accident, and had to wear a head support for many months?

He was. He came back and did various gigs. Luckily he made a good recovery and was able to carry on with his life.

It's all so strange. I never thought Darius would just give up. As for worrying Meg, I know exactly how you feel because I do the same, and I know it's daft as well, but it doesn't stop me. Sue

I don't think Darius would just give up. I'd just like a few updates.

I also like Daniel Bedingfield. loved his song If your not the one. However find it very strange that he has had three albums rejected especially when I hear some of the artistes (and I say this in the loosest sense) who have got deals. very strange indeed. I did think Daniel would set up his own label as he always had his own studio from the beginning but maybe he is going the way of David sneddon who gave up being a pop artist and writes for other people which apparently he is doing very well at and doesnt have to appear in the public eye.

You can't release your songs with any other label while you have a contract with another label, without their permission.

Oh we are now November........perhaps when Meg has a minute she may be able to sort us some photos......I'll see if I can bring some up from past threads

I was looking through some stuff from 2001 when he was 20 and befor PI. It was the Mirror again. The article was going on about how 'creepy' Darius was thrown out of an Edinburgh club for yelling at someone for grabbing his crotch. It just brought it home to me how bad his life had become after popstars. Anyone else would have had support not abuse from the club officials. It's not really surprising him having a poor opinion of some aspects of Britain.

He's certainly not had an easy ride and the press haven't changed at all, in fact they've got worse, judging from how they're treating the young kids on X Factor. If I was their Mum I'd want to go down and bring them home. I don't think I could stand it. Sue

By sheer coincidence yesterday I received a Google Alert reprinting that very article !!!!! How spooky is that !!!! :???:

Well, it's off my pc now. I have another gigabyte on my hard drive and less pics and articles to sort through.
