Alicia Keys To Retire By The Age Of 30

Alicia Keys has told how she wants to retire by the time she reaches 30 - which gives the 27 year old R&B singer just 3 years left in the music industry.

"I am working hard now so I have the choice to retire when I want." Keys says, "I would like to travel the world and stay in places instead of having to move on like I do now. I want to experience difference cultures."

This isn't the first time Alicia Keys has wanted to escape from the attention her singing career brings, as in 2006 she left for Egypt to travel, get away from the fame and recuperate.
