Hallelujah! Mika Considers Quitting Music

October 15, 2009
Hallelujah! Mika Considers Quitting MusicIn easily the best news of the day, Mika says he might be quitting the music industry soon.

The 26-year-old 'Grace Kelly' singer is considering abandoning music to set up a cartoon company.

He tells The Sun: "I might continue making music till I die but there's also a chance I might quit soon.

"There's a chance people may think 'We're done with that Mika'. In that case I'd start a cartoon company. I'm a good artist and designer."

The pop star – real name Michael Holbrook Penniman Jr – designed the artwork for both his studio albums 'Life in Cartoon Motion' and 'The Boy Who Knew Too Much'.
