In a new blog post, Paul talks about that fateful day five years ago and how his life has changed since then:
What was I thinking? I’m not sure I know! It was such a whirlwind especially as the whole show in my year was over with in a single week, and since then I have never stopped living each day from one to the next, thanking my lucky stars that an opportunity I never dreamed would come to me had suddenly jumped in front of me thanks to a lucky ten pence piece.
He then goes on to talk about this year’s BGT contestants and addresses some words of encouragement and advice especially to Jonathan Antoine and Charlotte Jaconelli:
What I would say is this: Don’t not change just because your afraid of changing. You will hold yourself back. You need to develop as a person and this may involve certain parts of you changing too ….
And he ends with a sentence that brings thrills to the hearts of all his devoted fans:
I am now preparing for my fourth album, and that is something I never dreamed I would say.
Whoo hoo!!!!!
