Katy Perry: 'Russell Brand hasn't spoken to me since he sent a divorce text'

'Dark Horse' songstress Katy Perry has revealed that she no longer has any kind of relationship with British funnyman Russell Brand.

Speaking to Australia's Daily Telegraph newspaper, the beauty confessed that she and ex-husband Brand are no longer in touch: "He hasn't spoken to me since he texted me saying he was filing for divorce."

It was revealed earlier this week that her fifth studio album is scheduled for a 2016 release date and she added that the world can expect to hear about the end of her marriage in the songs she's writing for the upcoming LP: "I don't want to talk about him - my songs will say what I need to say."

She went onto explain that the divorce hasn't deterred her from the dream of finding love in the future: "I'm excited by whatever it brings. I'm excited by my own evolution. I don't want to end up bittersweet. I have to evolve, I have to continue to push people's perceptions of me. As an artist I like to do that, keep people on the edge of their seats."

"I'm one of those people that likes to be fearless. We bungee-jumped in New Zealand on one tour. We go to water-parks and do things like that because I have a little fearless invincibility streak in me. I don't like to live in fear because that traps you and your voices. Fear is a control tactic in the world that is negative and depressing and I don't want to be associated with it."
