Scottish singer Amy MacDonald has opened up about the reality of the music industry as she warned fans it can often be 'fake'.
The hitmaker, 32, who released her fifth album last month, took part in an honest Q&A on her Instagram stories where she opened up on life as a singer.
When asked about working out, the fitness-mad star favours, Amy revealed she would work in fitness if it wasn't for music.
The singer, who found fame with her chart-topping 2007 debut album This Is The Life, also dished out some advice to aspiring musicians as she warned that 'everyone has an agenda' in the industry.
When asked what advice she would give to her younger self starting out, she answered: "Be prepared for a lot of [poo emoji].
"The industry is so fake and sometimes it's hard because everyone has an agenda.
"I just want to get back out to playing live where it really feels like it's me, the fans and music.
"Everything else is just noise."
Amy, who has sold more than 12 million records, has just released her latest album, The Human Demands, and announced a European tour which she will embark on between April and July 2021.
The singer and her footballer husband Richard Foster recently sold almost all of her collection of supercars.
The millionaire singer-songwriter said being in lockdown at home also confirmed she’s done the right thing because she had only been going out to get her grocery shopping.
The 32-year-old got rid of all but two of her 30 high-performance cars. At one stage, she had even wanted a £1million Bugatti Veyron.
She said: “I’ve not been going anywhere. I’ve been at home the whole time.
“The furthest I’ve been is to the supermarket and back again. It’s only five minutes away so I’ve not been going anywhere just like everyone else.
“I still love cars. It’s still something I’ve always been interested in. I like to drive but I’ve found, as I’ve got older, that I’m not as obsessive as I was when I was younger."
