Idris Elba is taking a break from acting to focus on his music career. Yes, music career. We don't know how we feel about this. In fact, we're still getting over the whole English accent surprise from a couple years ago. Hop the velvet rope to listen to "Best That I Can" by none other than the Driis man himself. Yes, Driis.
He tells NME.com, “My personal agenda has always been about musical ambitions. Music’s a jealous bitch - I want to take time out (from acting) to finish the album.”
“I know Beyonce, Jay-Zand Busta Rhymes, but I don’t talk to them about my music. That’d be corny. Actors doing music is a cliche, so my plan is to tour small venues and festivals in Europe next year - along with my band the Trampions - the route musicians go down.”
