M.I.A. goes into retirement

Posted: Sep 03, 2008

Not only is she no longer touring, as was rumored, but she won't be recording new music either. She said in an interview with aceshowbiz.com: "It was my last ever show. And it still is. I stopped touring after that and I didn't want to make music again. I was quite happy to just leave it all behind. I was happy with what I had achieved."

Of course, history has shown us that such retirements are rarely permanent, and on that subject the woman born Mathangi Arulpragasam kept her hand close to her vest: "With the success of 'Paper Planes', there's pull for me to make another record. Even my mum believes in me more. It's a nice encouragement. But I was planning my life as a fishing woman on the outskirts of Cambodia. That's a joke."

With music-making behind her at least for now, M.I.A says she's planning a career change. In the interview, she explained her the reasoning behind her retirement and hinted at the possibility of a big-screen debut: "I think I would have gone and made a film.
