Calvin Harris to quit live music

The Scottish dance producer says that he won't play live anymore because ''m not a singer'.

In an interview with Melbourne's Herald Sun, Harris said that hitting the stage to front a band is 'terrifying'.

Harrris said he came to be a performer almost by accident, 'the live show had to happen, I had to be the frontman because I was doing the vocals on the songs. It went all right. I spent a few years trying to get it really properly good but it dawned on me it wasn't going to get much better. I've taken the singing thing as far as I can.'

He says he won't miss it, ''m not a singer. I'm not trained. Taking it onto the stage in front of people was terrifying. I got much, much better at it but I never lost the terror.'

The disco pop producer also said that he's working on new material, but will probably release individual songs rather than a full album.

He'll be visiting Australia for the second time this year, doing DJ sets at the Stereosonic festival in December.
