Will.i.Am praises Cheryl: 'She's a very strong woman and I'm happy for her'

Hitmaker Will.i.Am has praised close friend Cheryl for being such a talented artist and inspiring individual

During an interview with ITV's Lorraine earlier today (April 12), the 'Boom Boom Pow' hitmaker explained that he's happy to see that she has found love and hopes she continues to 'be creative' in whatever capacity she chooses:

"I love Cheryl, I'm happy for her - she's a very strong woman and just thick-skinned. She's overcome a lot and she's a great artist - and whatever she decides to do, should it be creative and let out whatever is inside of her, to make a decision like leaving something that's stability, and you know exactly what you're doing every year - that's a hard leap to say I'm not doing that anymore."

Will.i.Am went onto add that he identifies with Cheryl, who recently quit 'The X Factor', more than ever now because they're both in positions where they're walking an unfamiliar and new path: "And the only reason I can say I identify with that is because I have to figure out what I'm going to do, come 2017. I love Cheryl so I always root for her."
