News about Jay Kay

Jamiroquai has begun recording their first album in seven years, just weeks after the band's former bassist Derek McIntyre was killed in a car crash. After a recent writing session that yielded encouraging results, the Acid Jazz pioneers, fronted by lead singer Jay Kay, have returned to the studio. It will be the band's ninth studio album and first new music since Automaton's 2017 debut, and the band's ninth top ten LP.

Derek McIntyre, a Jamiroquai bassist, died in a car crash at the age of 66, according to his family in a tweet on Friday. Following a five-car accident in Bushey, Hertfordshire, on February 2, the musician, who came to fame as part of the funk and acid jazz band with vocalist Jay Kaye, died. His family wrote: "Our father, Robert McIntyre, was a proud husband, brother, uncle, grandfather, and friend.'

This week, Jay Kay of Jamiroquai was spotted exploring Venice's sights with wife Maria on a romantic getaway. As the couple strolled through the historic streets before enjoying a ride along the canal, the singer, 53, was busy photographing the scene with his camera. During the outing, Jay cut a casual figure in a T-shirt and shorts, and he might have been seen puffing on a cheeky cigarette.

The Jamiroquai frontman, a well-known petrolhead, is leaving the country for his extraordinary 1958 Bentley Drophead Coupé, which appeared in the Love Foolosophy music video in 2002. Jay Kay has had the car in his garage of exotic cars for 22 years, having purchased it just months before shooting the video. Interested parties are encouraged to make an enquiry direct from the singer's motor collection's private sale direct, and although it's listed as 'price upon request,' a bid over £1 million is likely to be needed to guarantee the keys to the drop-top Bentley.

After an automated hat for their festival run was left on a train, the band Jamiroquai has been given a reward. Lead singer Jay Kay is a huge fan of hats and he's planning to wear the headgear for forthcoming dates, including the Czech Republic, Italy, and Lancashire, as well as three more dates between July and September. However, the flashing light-up hat was "lost in transit" on a train between London Kings Cross and Luton, Beds, on Tuesday (June 6).
