Mike Skinner admits he's 'too old' for The Streets
- Published
The Streets' forthcoming fifth album will be the group's last record
Mike Skinner says The Streets forthcoming fifth album will be their last because he doesn't want to be "singing Let's Push Things Forward when I'm 40".
The Birmingham artist previously announced that Computers And Blues, released on 7 February, will be the final album under the name.
Skinner said he wanted to "do something else", adding "I'm getting older".
The 32-year-old will also begin work on his debut film.
Speaking to Radio 1's Zane Lowe during the In New Music We Trust takeover, Mike Skinner also joked that he should have worn a stage costume like French dance veterans Daft Punk to disguise his aging appearance.
"If I'd have put on a helmet like Daft Punk - sometimes I think I should have - those guys can go on forever.
"They're going to be 60, and under that helmet they could be 23."
Whilst Mike Skinner will tour with The Streets to support this album, he confirmed that after that he'll begin producing his debut film.
"It's not going to be a blockbuster," he explained.
The Streets released their debut album Original Pirate Material in 2002.
