Tom Odell has told today's Observer that he doesn't have a lot of friends, he said:

"It sounds weird, creepy but I don't love hanging out. I don't really have loads of friends – three or four who are close. The thing that I love the most is playing with my band, and with everything else I feel kind of uncomfortable. I don't think I'm socially awkward. I just prefer being behind a piano."

 The 22-year-old also revealed that he doesn't think he'll ever be able to grow a beard due to his youthful appearance.

The Chichester lad also isn't very good with romantic relationships, he said: "I'm bad at them. There's always a part of my brain saying: 'Stop getting comfortable. Don't relax.' Because I find it difficult to write when I'm happy. I have to go out there and get battered up and bruised to write anything. I have to feel something."
