Will.i.am calls time on solo career

Will.i.am has ruled out recording another solo album - so he can concentrate all his efforts in the Black Eyed Peas.

The star rose to fame as frontman and founder of the hit rap group before embarking on a successful solo and producing career.

His last release was 2007's 'Songs About Girls', but he has vowed never to bring out another record of his own - because the Black Eyed Peas' new disc 'The E.N.D.' is the band's best work yet.

He said: "No, I'm not doing another solo album. It's all Peas. I'm excited about this album. It's the best. It's going to be hard to top this."
