Lemar Christmas catch-up

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 09:00:00 +0100

We quizzed Lemar about what he's up to this holiday season, and what his thoughts are on 2008 and the year ahead. Here's what he had to say...

How will you be spending Christmas this year?
Family and friends! How it should be!

How will you be spending New Year?
Not sure yet. Maybe more of the above. Maybe a bit of a party. Still deciding.

What’s been the highlight of your year?
Highlight of 2008 has to be the arrival of new life within my life!
Oh and... Getting back on the music scene with single and album!
Niiiice!

Hopes for 2009?
A great tour and many random moments of excitement, with a lot of laughter!

Christmas wishes from Lemar!

The citizens of America have made an inspiratonal choice and one that really demonstrates that times are changing and a change is needed.

Lets hope that after celebrations are over, Obama can make a real difference and continue inspiring generations young and old, the way he already has!
