Country star Kenny Chesney announced that he's working on a new album that will be due in this spring. He also shares his tips on keeping fit in a feature in a leading men's magazine.
Chesney revealed that he's back in the studio to work on another potentially award-winning album. The singer, who has been recognized at the Country Music Awards in the past, is working alongside longtime producer Buddy Cannon and composers like David Lee Murphy and Allison Moorer.
"You have to take time to live and breathe, to fill up your tanks to be creative," said Chesney on his official site. "For me, especially after the success of The Big Revival, I want to move the music, the songs, the discussion forward!"
Chesney hinted that his new album will have fresh music as a follow up to "The Big Revival." "I knew we couldn't repeat, but I also wanted to find new ways and new things to record," the singer said per Entertainment Weekly.
The album still has no title but the target is to release it this spring. While he's busy working on it, Chesney is also set to do a summer tour with country stars like Miranda Lambert and Sam Hunt.
Meanwhile, the award-winning musician shares that performing on stage makes him feel better about his body physically and mentally. "I wasn't feeding my body negative things. I wasn't killing myself in the gym, but working real hard when there," he told GQ.
But to keep himself fit, the 47-year-old star shared that he's on the treadmill a lot. He owns a machine called the Curve. "Walking on it is hard, much less sprinting. Running on the Curve got me in better shape than I've ever been in."
He also quit drinking beer, but revealed he wasn't much of a drinker in the first place even when he was on tours. He's convicted about his choices and keeps a disciplined schedule of his work and routines. As for diet, Chesney packs the carbs and proteins early in the day, but doesn't eat anything else after 5:00 p.m. Once in a while, however, he indulges on food and admits he's an emotional eater. But for the most part, he makes better food choices by sticking with good fats, fish, vegetables and lean meat.
