Del Rey doubts prospect of new album
Lana Del Rey has cast doubt over whether she is to record a follow-up to her best-selling album 'Born To Die'.
The 25-year-old singer admitted having her heart broken and her days of drinking "too much" provided the inspiration for the album, but says writing new material could be difficult as her life is much calmer now.
The reformed wild child - who recorded an album under the name Lizzy Grant in 2009 - has spent the last five years rehabilitating herself by doing charity work and although her new record has been a success, she admits she may quit music again because she has nothing left to say.
She told America's Vogue magazine: "Homeless outreach, drug and alcohol rehabilitation - that's been my life for the past five years.
"My friends are a core group I met through work, and they never really knew I was a singer, because nothing was ever happening. I consider myself coming out of retirement as a singer at this point.
"I don't think I'll write another record. What would I say? I feel like everything I want to say I've said already."
"Even though I can't be with that person anymore, I still want to honour those memories. I felt like falling in love changed me, neurologically and the record is about being faithful in my mind to the memory of that particular person.
"I'm in contact with his mother. He's somewhere else but he's around.
"The album is a tribute to living life on the wild side. I'm sort of kidding because I'm not that wild any more ... I used to drink a lot. Too much. I haven't had a drink for seven years now."
