Being a singer isn't fun anymore

“As we get older, there are phases of life that we enter into, and being a singer-songwriter-pianist just isn't fun anymore,” he might have said, says a source who remained anonymous. Other reports hinted that he may branch out into other creative fields he is better at (and more interested in), though they didn't provide any details.

#ThankYouDaniel

For a little while on Wednesday evening, #ThankYouDaniel was a trending hashtag on Twitter. As many fans reminisce and look back on all the unforgettable memories, some may wonder what about now made him make the decision.

“You’ve accomplished everything I ever dreamed of #ThankYouDaniel.”
