Andy Abraham denies quitting music industry

Former X Factor star Andy Abraham has denied claims that he is giving up on his music career.

An article in the Daily Star Sunday at the weekend suggested that Abraham would launch a career in property development after finishing joint last in the Eurovision Song Contest earlier this year.

However, the singer's manager Denise Abraham told DS: "We have an up and coming theatre tour booked in starting from Oct 31st. Andy has never been involved in the property development business and has an active career in the music business.

"He has released his current album Even If on his own record label B-Line Records and has further projects in the pipeline."

Veteran Eurovision commentator Terry Wogan blamed political voting after Abraham's track 'Even If' received just 14 points at the contest in May. Meanwhile, Simon Cowell described the competition as "empty and meaningless".

Abraham was the runner-up in X Factor's 2005 series, losing out to Shayne Ward in the final episode. Even If is his third album since he appeared on the programme.
