\u201cI watch I\u2019m A Celebrity every year and I had to think long and hard about this. But I feel like I am in a very fertile creative moment in my life. I am in a moment of rediscovery of who I am as a person, artist and older man and I feel like I do make a lot of effort to be in pop culture,\u201d he said before making his debut.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am bored of being iconic in the corner and if you want to compete in the world then being part of telly is part of that. This is the biggest show on TV and that is why I am doing it. And now I have made the decision, I don\u2019t want to focus too much on what the experience might be like, but my intention is it is going to be amazing. It\u2019s three weeks without make-up and three weeks is nothing. I have just done seven weeks on tour.\u201d<\/p>\n

And fans will be happy to hear that he\u2019ll be singing along during his time on the show.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cOf course, I will sing! I am going to do impersonations of Shirley Bassey every day. I am going to put a song out whilst I am in the jungle too. I release music all the time. It\u2019s good for people to discover music in a different way rather than through the approval system of radio. I don\u2019t need to be approved by someone who hasn\u2019t made a record.\u201d<\/p>\n
