Kay has denied claims that he has quit the music business.

The Jamiroquai star was widely reported to have decided to retire yesterday, after his record deal with SonyBMG expired.

However, these suggestions were today completely denied by both his camp and the star himself, in a statement.

Kay, who released a greatest-hits compilation album last year entitled High Times, insisted "there's no way I'm quitting the music business."

He explains: "As usual they got it wrong for a cheap headline! All I said was that we're taking a bit of time out to get the studio refurbished and we'll be back making music in a few months time. Now I am out of my long contract with SonyBMG we have so many options open to us we're just going to take our time and get it right - it's just getting interesting!"
