JLS' Aston Merrygold: 'I'm single by choice and want to experience everything'

Aston Merrygold, one quarter of popular British boyband JLS, has revealed that although he is single it is a conscious choice because he wants "to experience everything". 

The singer explained that he simply doesn't have the time to really commit to another person and wouldn't like to be in a relationship half-heartedly so is taking the opportunity to enjoy everything that comes his way while he is unattached:

"I'm single out of choice, unless there is anyone interested? And I think Olly Murs is single out of choice too, he's just done an arena tour and that's full on! This is going to sound so bad and don't mean any disrespect to people in relationships but right now I want to experience everything."

"When I'm on tour I want to get the whole tour vibe, I want to get the whole backstage vibe I don't want to be on the phone to a girlfriend. I want to be with the boys, with my dancers with the security team, with management all of it."

 

   

"This could all go tomorrow and I don't want to be sitting there on the phone talking about how was your day for two hours."
