Feels sooo good to be back under the needle!! More ink please miss, missed my girl with gun, missed the pain. Yum xx

I guess you either love them or hate them.

I have got used to the sleeve - maybe it is just a bit more infill around that one.

Wow that's tangy.... May need to wear a vest for a few days, although I'm not sure how much of good look that is for me : ) #bepanthen xx

Hhhmmmmmmmm - a vest....not going to protect something on the arm. Wonder what he's had done this time?

He might mean a vest so it doesn't rub his arm if he's had more work on his sleeve ... (or the other arm ...)

That makes sense - I was thinking of soft material covering the wound (cos he has had a bandage in the past)- but I prefer your version, as I really am hoping that he is sticking to just the one arm.

I would guess at more shading / tone details to the sleeve. But your right, he may have started on the other arm ?

Hope it's continuing work to the sleeve and nothing else

and looks like Brian is still planning on coming over for the tour:

Brian Edwards ‏@EnterMissThang 5h
Last #FF of January '14 My dear friend @matt_cardle_uk Can't wait to see his show in London in April - the upcomin… http://www.whosay.com/l/eUA7IDl

I was pleased to see Brian's tweet. He's been pretty quiet about Matt since the rehab news and split with Will broke. He seemed to love Will as much as Matt, calling them family etc. So I wondered how he was dealing with the split and change of dynamic in his relationship with the two of them. Good to see he is really supporting Matt still and I wonder if there will be any photos of them together when Matt goes to L.A. to film the new video.

I was wondering if Will will be going to any of the Porcelain14 gigs.

It would be nice to think that they could get over what ever differences led to them splitting. They were such good friends, and even if they can't work together, it would be nice if they could at least talk. But Will unfollowing Matt on Twitter seemed to be a real statement that three were some real personal differences. Maybe a bit of space for a few months will help.

For me personally i would prefer if Will steped out of Matt's life completely for some time to come..not judging either of them and the reasons behind it..but the break has been made and it needs to be carried through..I have unfollowed Will on Twitter ..I have never met him and dont feel any loyality ..I bought into Matt cardle the artist and i feel its best if Matt moves on to be honest.

I've only met Will once, at the album signing in October. He was lovely tbf to him, as was Matt. But I have to admit that his apparent coldness towards Matt's rehab situation, the insensitivity of tweeting about what an amazing time he was having on holiday, juxtaposed to Matt simultaneously being in The Priory, well I just found it horrible. He wasn't Matt's manager at this stage, and the unfollowing on Twitter is a statement that the parting wasn't amicable - so maybe he didn't feel any sympathy, but I don't think it was a great bit of PR on his own part, to be rejoicing on Twitter about his holiday at that time. I hope that at least privately he was sending texts showing concern. So in one respect I agree with you, that maybe Will stepping completely out of Matt's life is probably for the best, but there is still a part of me that thinks that it would be good to at least make peace with one another, then there could be a bit of positive closure for both of them.

It would be nice, after going through so much together in the last 3 years.
I can't imagine Matt is the sort of person to hold a grudge, but as we have no idea what's gone on, who knows.

I do enjoy talking to you crabbie
I do understand where you are coming from wilth will and his tweets..he has a strong personality ..i even had an exchange with him a year ago about a political issue ..nothing to do with Matti
Its like a diivorce or a relationship gone wrong played out on social media, very unprofesional.
We all like the idea that they can stiill be friends after all the shared times, experiences, laughs,music ..but maybe they can''t i will continue to follow Matt on his journey..Will is irrelavant to me now, and i hope Matt moves on as well.

BiB - And I like talking to you too, fellow night owl!

Will has a lot of good points - he works really hard and considering how young he is (still only 26!) he seems to have a good understanding of the industry, and knows how to network. But his down side, for me at least, is that he appears to have a volatile temperament, which led to some very uncomfortable and pretty unprofessional exchanges on Twitter. And if he was like that off Twitter too, then he must have been difficult to be around at times. Of course we don't know what actually happened, it may have been nothing to do with any of the above - maybe it was just time for both of them to find pastures new. Whatever the reasons, the fact is they have split - and hopefully Matt either has, or is in the process of appointing a new manager. Life moves on - and like you, Matt is the guy that I will continue to support, regardless of who is managing him.

Interesting that photo albums have been added to the official Facebook page, somebody's obviously doing something!

Thank god he did something about it.

I feel sick to my stomach reading that! I'd be interested to read a longer version, it alludes to a few things there but doesn't go into detail. I hope he's learnt to cut back a bit on the alcohol too By golly.

Eta: New pic here, anyone got a subscription? http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...rug-death.html

This is the article in The Sun, that the Daily Mail has used for their article. The Sun version is longer with a lot more detail.

I must admit that I expected him to do an article, but thought it may be saved (cynical I know)for the week his new single is released.

Interesting that he was actually admitted to The Priory the day after Boxing Day, which explains why he was out sooner than we were expecting.

Yes - but I will copy and paste on a pm - not sure if there is copyright infringement posting it publicly, given that you are expected to pay for The Sun.

So where was Will in all this just watching it happen!

Re first BiB - That sums up exactly how I feel too!

Re second BiB - According to The Sun article, he is completely off alcohol too.

Exactly!
