Exactly. Initally it bothered me because I wasn't sure whether RCA would keep him on, but they seem to be sticking by him, and I know he's recording at the moment because he's tweeted a few times about it, and that's all I want to know and be reassured by, that he's able to continue making music. I don't think coming on here (not the ATs, obviously, but the MF) helps very much sometimes as people are so quick to jump on any weakness or underperformance without taking into account the wider circumstances, but with Aiden, I feel very good about where he is at the moment, what he's achieved, and what he has the potential to achieve in the future.
