    M.I.A. To Possibly Come Out Of Retirement

    M.I.A. has revealed that there’s a high chance she will make another record after announcing her plans to retire at this year’s Bonnaroo Festival in Tennessee.

    “Well, it was my last ever show. And it still is,” stated the singer to Entertainment Weekly.

    She continued, “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.”

    “Now, 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.”

    M.I.A. has had an unexpected hit single in the U.S. with ‘Paper Planes’ after being featured in the ‘Pineapple Express’ movie trailer.
